Efficient protection of mice from influenza A/H1N1pdm09 virus challenge infection via high avidity serum antibodies induced by booster immunizations with inactivated whole virus vaccine

Heliyon, 2019
The immunogenicities of inactivated whole and split virus vaccines derived from influenza A/H1N1pdm09 virus were compared in a mouse model. We demonstrated the unique properties of whole virus vaccine boosters on the serum memory antibody response in ...

Mesenchymal stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles attenuate influenza virus-induced acute lung injury in a pig model

Stem cell research & therapeutics, 2018
Mesenchymal stem (stromal) cells (MSCs) mediate their immunoregulatory and tissue repair functions by secreting paracrine factors, including extracellular vesicles (EVs). In several animal models of human diseases, MSC-EVs mimic the beneficial effects of

Transmission dynamics of influenza in two major cities of Uganda

Epidemics, 2018
In this paper, we report the epidemic characteristics of the three co-circulating influenza viruses (i.e., A/H1N1, A/H3N2, and B) in two tropical African cities—Kampala and Entebbe, Uganda—over an eight-year period (2008–2015).

Comparative Virological and Pathogenic Characteristics of Avian Influenza H5N8 Viruses Detected in Wild Birds and Domestic Poultry in Egypt during the Winter of 2016/2017

Viruses, 2019
The surveillance and virological characterization of H5N8 avian influenza viruses are important in order to assess their zoonotic potential. The genetic analyses of the Egyptian H5N8 viruses isolated through active surveillance in wild birds and domestic

Differentiated human airway organoids to assess infectivity of emerging influenza virus

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2018
Significance Influenza virus infection represents a major threat to public health worldwide. There is no biologically relevant, reproducible, and readily available in vitro model for predicting the infectivity of influenza viruses in humans. Based on the
