ANTIGENIC SHIFT. “The reassortment of complete units of genetic material results in the formation of ‘reassortants’ or ‘mosaic’ viruses. At times, ‘genetic reassortment’ affects the exchange of genome segments encoding the viral surface proteins hemagglutinin and neuraminidase. Thereby, the virus achieves a new antigenic pattern.”
