[Analysis of the antigenic specificity of the neuraminidases of influenza B viruses isolated in different years].
The antigenic structure of neuraminidases of influenza B viruses isolated in 1940-1984 was studied. Lectin test has first been employed for analysis of influenza B virus neuraminidase. The antigenic composition of neuraminidases of these viruses was shown to be different. The strains isolated in the epidemic of 1983-1984 underwent further drift of the neuraminidase component and represent a heterogeneous group in this respect. The use of monospecific antiserum to purified neuraminidase helped specify antigenic relationships of this protein.
