A Computationally Optimized Hemagglutinin Virus-Like Particle Vaccine Elicits Broadly Reactive Antibodies that Protect Nonhuman Primates from H5N1 Infection
23 Mar 2012
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza viruses continue to spread via waterfowl, causing lethal infections in humans. Vaccines can prevent the morbidity and mortality associated with pandemic influenza isolates. Predicting the specific isolate that may emerge from the 10 different H5N1 clades is a tremendous challenge for vaccine design. METHODS: In this study, we generated a synthetic hemagglutinin...
