Home Â» Biology Â» Antigenic shift Antigenic shift Antigenic shift is the process by which two different strains of influenza combine to form a new subtype having a mixture of the surface antigens of the two original strains.

Today, the term shift to the left means that the bands or stabs have increased, indicating an infection in progress. For example, a patient with acute appendicitis might have a WBC count of 15,000 with 65% of the cells being mature neutrophils and an increase in stabs or band cells to 10%.
