Using the example of a seasonal influenza A virus, the researchers used high-resolution and super-resolution microscopy to show that contact between the virus and the cell surface triggers a ...

Production cycle 6~8 Months ... Thus, MDCK cells are now classed as a vital cell line suitable for influenza virus strain isolation and vaccine production. Furthermore, MDCK cells can be readily ...

Multiple studies in both mouse models and humans demonstrate the protective role of T-cells, particularly CD8+ and CD4+ T cells, against influenza virus infection. While T-cell responses may not ...

Influenza is a common respiratory virus that is categorized into four types: A, B, C and D. Type C only causes mild infections and type D is not believed to infect humans. However, influenza A and ...

Highly pathogenic avian influenza A(H5N1) virus, also known as H5N1 bird flu ... Immune T cells, or T lymphocytes, are a type of white blood cell that plays a central role in the adaptive immune ...

Unlike most influenza viruses, which bind to glycans—i.e. carbohydrate chains on the cell surface—for infection, the H18N11 virus has a different target. Example 1 of MDCK cells stably ...
