Universal type/subtype-specific antibodies for quantitative analyses of neuraminidase in trivalent influenza vaccines
Abstract Both influenza viral hemagglutinin and neuraminidase can induce protective immune responses in humans. Although the viral hemagglutinin antigens have been quantified in influenza vaccines, the amounts of neuraminidase remain undetermined. Using comprehensive bioinformatics analyses of all n...
