Pandemic H1N1 Influenza A Viruses Are Resistant to the Antiviral Activities of Innate Immune Proteins of the Collectin and Pentraxin Superfamilies
4 Sept 2010
Abstract excerpt
Acquired immune responses elicited to recent strains of seasonal H1N1 influenza viruses provide limited protection against emerging A(H1N1) pandemic viruses. Accordingly, pre-existing or rapidly induced innate immune defenses are of critical importance in limiting early infection. Respiratory secretions contain proteins of the innate immune system, including members of the collectin and pentraxin superfamilies....
