[University of Guelph News] U of G Research May Lead to More Effective Avian Influenza Vaccine ...: The molecular region identified by Sharif’s research team is a small peptide contained in the hemagglutinin (HA) antigen, a protein found on the surface of the flu virus. The researchers showed that the peptide is recognized by the chicken’s T-cells, which attack the virus directly and also trigger the production of antibodies that help the immune system fight the infection.

In addition,ferrets immunized with Inovio's SynConTM universal fluvaccine combinations were 100% protected against death and sicknessin a challenge with the A/H1N1 (2009) swine-origin influenza.

[Bird Flu Monitor] Bird Flu Monitor: Guangdong Woman Ill With H9 Avian Flu: While we normally think of H5N1 when we hear of `avian flu', the truth is, there are a number of avian influenza viruses out there, and humans have been (on rare occasions) infected with strains of H5, H7, H9, .Doctors Warn of H9 Flu Danger to Human Health: Serum samples obtained from these subjects were assayed for antibodies against H5 and H9 avian influenza virus with a haemagglutination-inhibition assay containing .

[Emerging Infectious Diseases] Antibodies to Influenza Virus A (H5N1), Thailand | CDC EID: Furthermore, the clade 1 influenza virus (H5N1) strains that infected poultry and humans in Thailand during 2004 were antigenically and genetically distinct from the clade 0 influenza virus (H5N1) strains that caused the 1997 outbreak in Hong Kong (11). Our finding of no serologic evidence of asymptomatic or mild influenza (H5N1) infection among Thai villagers is consistent with findings from smaller influenza virus (H5N1) seroprevalence studies among workers in live poultry markets in the People's Republic of China (12), among villagers exposed to backyard poultry infected with clade 1 influenza virus (H5N1) in rural Cambodia (13), among poultry workers exposed to poultry infected with clade 2.2 influenza virus (H5N1) in northern Nigeria (14), and among poultry farmers exposed to poultry infected with clade 1 influenza virus (H5N1) in Thailand (7).

[赛因斯的BLOG] AVIAN INFLUENZA_赛因斯_新浪博客: Isolation in embryos has recently been replaced, undercertain circumstances, by detection of one or more segments of theinfluenza A genome using reverse-transcription polymerase chainreaction (RT-PCR). For subtyping the virus, a reference laboratoryshould conduct haemagglutination and neuraminidase inhibition testsagainst a battery of polyclonal or monospecific antisera to each ofthe 16 haemagglutinin (H1–16) and 9 neuraminidase (N1–9) subtypesof influenza A virus.As the term highly pathogenic avian influenzaand the historical term ”˜fowl plague’ refer to infection withvirulent strains of influenza A virus, it is necessary to assessthe virulence of an isolate for domestic poultry.
