Estimation of age-specific susceptibility to influenza in the Netherlands and its relation to loss of CD8+ T-cell memory

2018-02-05

Abstract excerpt

The magnitude of influenza epidemics is largely determined by the number of susceptible individuals at the start of the influenza season. Susceptibility, in turn, is influenced by antigenic drift. The evolution of influenza’s B-cell epitopes has been charted thoroughly, and only recently evidence for T-cell driven evolution is accumulating. We investigate the relation between susceptibility to influenza, and antig...
