چکیده

A quantitative study of the antigenicity of various vaccines containing influenza A virus has been made in human beings. A complex vaccine prepared from chick embryos inoculated with both influenza A virus and the X strain of canine distemper virus was found to be more effective than other vaccines in stimulating the production of neutralizing antibodies against the former virus. The increased antibody levels which resulted from the administration of this vaccine remained almost unaltered for at least 5 months.

New Anti-Influenza Agents: Targeting the Virus Entry and Genome Transcription

Introduction: The emergence and spread of the pandemic H1N1 influenza virus in 2009 indicates a limitation in the strategy to control the infection, despite a long-established vaccination programme and approved antivirals. Production the proper vaccine against influenza is difficult due to the genetic recombination of virus in the event of pandemic and co-circulation of drug-resistance variants...

Cloning, expression and purification of hemagglutinin conserved domain (HA2) of influenza A virus, to be used in broad-spectrum subunit vaccine cocktails

Introduction: Influenza virus has several conserved peptides which have the capacity to be used as suitable candidates for appropriate and stable vaccine production against different types of influenza viruses. One of these peptides is HA2, the hemagglutinin stalk domain which mediates the membrane fusion and is conserved amongst different sub-types of influenza virus. This peptide is a good ca...

Immunogenicity of Concentrated and Purified Inactivated Avian Influenza Vaccine Formulation

Avian influenza (AI) H9N2 is a low pathogenic virus subtype belonging to Orthomyxoviridae family. Given the prevalence of this subtype as an infectious agent in poultry industry, special attention has been always directed toward the development of vaccine production against this infection. The vaccine of this infection is produced by killing the virus and using a mixture of inactivated antigen ...
