Novel -type D- influenza virus
Influenza viruses have been known to be types A to C, including human seasonal influenza virus and avian influenza virus. In recent years, the influenza D virus, which possesses different characteristics from other types of influenza viruses, infecting livestock cattle and other domestic animals was discovered in the United States.

Selection of neutralizing antibody escape mutants with type A influenza virus HA-specific polyclonal antisera: possible significance for antigenic drift [PDF]
Ten antisera were produced in rabbits by two or three intravenous injections of inactivated whole influenza type A virions. All contained haemagglutination-inhibition (HI) antibody directed predominantly to an epitope in antigenic site B and, in addition,

Substitutions near the hemagglutinin receptor-binding site determine the antigenic evolution of influenza A H3N2 viruses in U.S. swine [PDF]
Swine influenza A virus is an endemic and economically important pathogen in pigs, with the potential to infect other host species. The hemagglutinin (HA) protein is the primary target of protective immune responses and the major component in swine ...

Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin d level and influenza vaccine immunogenicity in children and adolescents. [PDF]
Vaccination is an important strategy in the prevention of influenza, but immunologic response to vaccination can vary widely. Recent studies have shown an association between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) levels and immune function.
