Development of DNA-Biochip for Identification of Influenza A Virus Subtypes
Developed was the DNA-biochip to identify subtypes of influenza A virus, pathogenic for humans. Microchip was capable of detecting H1, H3, H5-subtypes of hemagglutinin (including H1-subtype of pandemic A/H1N1(2009) influenza virus ) and neuraminidase ...

Hemagglutinin sequence conservation guided stem immunogen design from influenza A H3 subtype [PDF]
Seasonal epidemics caused by influenza A (H1 and H3 subtypes) and B viruses are a major global health threat. The traditional, trivalent influenza vaccines have limited efficacy because of rapid antigenic evolution of the circulating viruses.

A Historical Perspective of Influenza A(H1N2) Virus
The emergence and transition to pandemic status of the influenza A(H1N1)A(H1N1)pdm09) virus in 2009 illustrated the potential for previously circulating human viruses to re-emerge in humans and cause a pandemic after decades of circulating among animals.

A Novel Sequence-Based Antigenic Distance Measure for H1N1, with Application to Vaccine Effectiveness and the Selection of Vaccine Strains [PDF]
H1N1 influenza causes substantial seasonal illness and was the subtype of the 2009 influenza pandemic. Precise measures of antigenic distance between the vaccine and circulating virus strains help researchers design influenza vaccines with high vaccine ...

In silico design of cyclic peptides as influenza virus, a subtype H1N1 neuraminidase inhibitor [PDF]
Nowadays, influenza has become a global public health concern because it is responsible for significant morbidity and mortality due to annual epidemics and unpredictable pandemics. There are only limited options to control this respiratory disease. Vaccine treatment is useless for controlling this disease because of the occurrence of mutation in the ...
