Influenza virus HA-specific antibodies can be detected via the hemagglutination inhibition (HI) assay, the neutralization (NT) assay, and the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). However, these assays have some drawbacks, including narrow dynamic range and the requirement for large amounts of sera.
