http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Influenza_hemagglutinin"Subtypes
There are at least 16 different HA antigens. These subtypes are labeled H1 through H16. The last, H16, was discovered only recently on influenza A viruses isolated from black-headed gulls from Sweden and Norway.<2> The first three hemagglutinins, H1, H2, and H3, are found in human influenza viruses.
A highly pathogenic avian flu virus of H5N1 type has been found to infect humans at a low rate. It has been reported that single amino acid changes in this avian virus strain's type H5 hemagglutinin have been found in human patients that "can significantly alter receptor specificity of avian H5N1 viruses, providing them with an ability to bind to receptors optimal for human influenza viruses".<3><4> This finding seems to explain how an H5N1 virus that normally does not infect humans can mutate and become able to efficiently infect human cells. The hemagglutinin of the H5N1 virus has been associated with the high pathogenicity of this flu virus strain, apparently due to its ease of conversion to an active form by proteolysis.<5><6>"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuraminidase"The most commonly known neuraminidase is the viral neuraminidase, a drug target for the prevention of influenza infection. The viral neuraminidases are frequently used as an antigenic determinants found on the surface of the Influenza virus."
