Proinflammatory cytokine responses induced by influenza A (H5N1) viruses in primary human alveolar and bronchial epithelial cells

Respiratory Research, 2005
Background Fatal human respiratory disease associated with influenza A subtype H5N1 has been documented in Hong Kong, and more recently in Vietnam, Thailand and Cambodia. We previously demonstrated that patients with H5N1 disease had unusually high serum

2009 pandemic H1N1 influenza A virus strains display differential pathogenicity in C57BL/6J but not BALB/c mice

Virulence, 2011
Influenza A viruses are the causative agents of annual epidemics and occasional pandemics. The pathogenicity of influenza viruses is determined by complex interplay of viral and host factors.

Strategy to Enhance Influenza Surveillance Worldwide

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2009
The emergence of a novel strain of influenza virus A (H1N1) in April 2009 focused attention on influenza surveillance capabilities worldwide. In consultations before the 2009 outbreak of influenza subtype H1N1, the World Health Organization had concluded

THREAT OF SWINE FLU OUTBREAK

Gomal Journal of Medical Sciences, 2015
Influenza A (H1N1) virus is responsible for swine flu. It can easily cross the species barrier and zoonotic jumps from pigs to humans have been observed. It emerged from Mexico in 2009 and spread with travelers worldwide, resulting in swine flu pandemic.

A single dose of DNA vaccine based on conserved H5N1 subtype proteins provides protection against lethal H5N1 challenge in mice pre-exposed to H1N1 influenza virus

Virology Journal, 2010
Background Highly pathogenic avian influenza virus subtype H5N1 infects humans with a high fatality rate and has pandemic potential. Vaccination is the preferred approach for prevention of H5N1 infection.

First detection of influenza A virus subtypes H1N1 and H3N8 in the Antarctic region: King George Island, 2023

Problems of Virology
Relevance. Influenza A virus is characterized by a segmented single-stranded RNA genome. Such organization of the virus genome determines the possibility of reassortment, which can lead to the emergence of new virus variants. The main natural reservoir of most influenza A virus subtypes are wild waterfowl.

Recognition of homo- and heterosubtypic variants of influenza A viruses by human CD8+ T lymphocytes [PDF]

, 2004
In the present study, the recognition of epitope variants of influenza A viruses by human CTL was investigated. To this end, human CD8(+) CTL clones, specific for natural variants of the HLA-B*3501-restricted epitope in the nucleoprotein (NP(418-426 ...

In silico design of cyclic peptides as influenza virus, a subtype H1N1 neuraminidase inhibitor

African Journal of Biotechnology, 2016
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 ...
