Previously, a broadly neutralizing antibody, 3I14, active against groups 1 and 2 influenza A viruses was isolated from human memory B cells and showed protection in mice from lethal viral challenge. Here, Harshbarger and Deming et al. provide the crystal structure of 3I14 Fab in complex with H3, H6, and H10.
