متن کاملA less fit flu virus
A team of researchers from the State University of New York at Stony Brook has used a computer-guided approach to engineer live attenuated influenza strains that protect mice from wild-type flu virus.1 The researchers think the strategy could lead to quicker, more efficient ways of producing live attenuated influenza vaccines than the method used to generate strains for the one marketed product...
متن کاملThe 1918 flu virus is resurrected.
Pinpointing exactly which genetic mutations allowed the virus to jump to humans will enable scientists to recognize other bird viruses that could trigger a pandemic. Taubenberger's team has already identified 25 changes in the protein sequences of the 1918 strain that have been present in subsequent human flu viruses. These mutations are likely to be particularly important, he says. One such ch...
