Evidence for Viral Interference and Cross-reactive Protective Immunity Between Influenza B Virus Lineages
20 Nov 2017
Abstract excerpt
Background: Two influenza B virus lineages, B/Victoria and B/Yamagata, cocirculate in the human population. While the lineages are serologically distinct, cross-reactive responses to both lineages have been detected. Viral interference describes the situation whereby infection with one virus limits infection and replication of a second virus. We investigated the potential for viral interference between the...
