Funded Activity Summary

This study will examine cellular immunity to the avian H5 influenza in people who have been previously infected with the currently circulating strains of H1 and H3 influenza, or in those who have been recently vaccinated with current influenza vaccines. This will give us an idea if there is any cross reactive immunity that may assist in developing immunity to pandemic strains of avian influenza, or may provide help in making antibody responses sooner to avian influenza vaccines once they are developed. We will also establish assays to determine how immunogenic some new avian influenza vaccines are in mice.
