Another influenza outbreak – the Hong Kong flu – started to spread from China in 1968. It was caused by a compound virus, which combined the Asian virus from ten years earlier with a form of bird flu. It killed around 1 million people – most of them older than 65. 另一场流感爆发—...
Licensed influenza virus vaccines target the head domain of the hemagglutinin (HA) glycoprotein which undergoes constant antigenic drift. The highly conserved HA stalk domain is an attractive target to increase immunologic breadth required for universal influenza virus vaccines. We tested the hypothesis th...
