Abstract
This study evaluated whether immunity from seasonal influenza induces cross-reactive antibodies against recent avian and bovine H5N1 strains in serum from retail workers. Despite strong neutralizing activity against seasonal strains, no cross-reactivity against H5N1 was detected, emphasizing the need to assess broader immune responses and targeted vaccines for H5N1 viruses.
期刊介绍:
Open Forum Infectious Diseases provides a global forum for the publication of clinical, translational, and basic research findings in a fully open access, online journal environment. The journal reflects the broad diversity of the field of infectious diseases, and focuses on the intersection of biomedical science and clinical practice, with a particular emphasis on knowledge that holds the potential to improve patient care in populations around the world. Fully peer-reviewed, OFID supports the international community of infectious diseases experts by providing a venue for articles that further the understanding of all aspects of infectious diseases.
