Influenza B Virus Challenged System - Evaluation of Immunity

Cate, Thomas R.

Abstract

This study is designed to show that influenza B virus vaccine candidates which bear the surface antigens of contemporary wild type influenza B strains and the internal genes of cold-adapted, temperature-sensitive influenza B/Ann Arbor are attenuated with respect to the wild type strains.
