A Vero-cell-culture–derived trivalent influenza vaccine had a protective efficacy of 79% against antigenically matched influenza strains. Conventional egg-based influenza vaccines have several ...

December 12, 2011 — Children with sickle cell anemia who receive the trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine are no more likely to be hospitalized for sickle cell crisis than children with sickle cell ...

The influenza virus manipulates the body's gene regulation system to accelerate its own spread. A new study also shows that an already approved drug could help strengthen immune defenses -- though its ...

Influenza hemagglutinin subunit vaccines are more effective and offer better cross protection against various influenza virus challenges when combined with a mucosal adjuvant that enhances the body's ...

Functional plasticity of innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) and T cells is regulated by host environmental cues, but the influence of pathogen-derived virulence factors has not been described. We now report ...

Viruses have no metabolism of their own and must therefore infect host cells in order to replicate. Contact between the virus and the cell surface is a crucial first step, which can also prevent ...

Influenza presents a global health challenge due to its rapidly changing RNA genome. These mutations can result in serious ...

The influenza virus manipulates the body’s gene regulation system to accelerate its own spread, according to researchers at the University of Gothenburg. Their study also shows that an already ...
