Funded Activity Summary

Influenza is an important infection that causes disease every year in the Australian population. People with lung disease are at particular risk to its effects. The ability of the virus to grow in birds and change its appearance to our immune system allows this virus to cause severe disease every year. We will examine the immune response to this virus in human cells, comparing this response to human and bird strains of the virus and see why subjects with lung disease are more susceptible.
