متن کاملSurveillance Study of Influenza Occurrence and Immunity in a Wisconsin Cohort During the 2009 Pandemic
BACKGROUND Antibody and T-cell immunity to conserved influenza virus antigens can protect animals against infection with diverse influenza strains. Although immunity against conserved antigens occurs in humans, whether such responses provide cross-protection in humans and could be harnessed as the basis for universal influenza vaccines is controversial. The 2009 pandemic provided an opportunity...
