[eLife] Scientists constructed a recombinant protein named NMHC which consist of influenza viral conserved epitopes and a superantigen fragment.

[Science Advances] Scientists compared the immune signature from hospitalized SARS-CoV-2–infected patients to patients hospitalized prepandemic with influenza or respiratory syncytial virus.

[Science Immunology] The authors showed that effective induction of T cell responses against influenza A virus in mice requires reinforcement of the resident lung conventional dendritic cells (cDC) network by cDC progenitors.

[NPJ Vaccines] Scientists demonstrated that a modular trimerization domain known as the molecular clamp allows the efficient production and purification of conformationally stabilised prefusion hemagglutinin from a diverse range of influenza A subtypes.

[eLife] By studying the breadth of anti-hemagglutinin (HA) IgG, serum cytokines, and B and T cell responses by flow cytometry before and after influenza vaccination, investigators showed that formation of circulating T follicular helper cells was associated with high-titre antibody responses.

[Scientific Reports] Researchers compared innate immune responses in the lungs of healthy colonized and non-colonized mice after Influenza A virus challenge at the initial asymptomatic stage of infection.
