Universal Flu Vaccine Holds Promise |
|
ST. LOUIS -- An influenza vaccine that protects against death and serious complications from different strains of flu is a little closer to reality, Saint Louis University vaccine researchers have found. |
"This is a significant first step in
developing a universal vaccine to help protect against pandemic influenza,"
said Robert Belshe, M.D., director of the Saint Louis University Center for
Vaccine Development. More testing is needed, he added. Belshe, the lead researcher who studied a
vaccine made with proteins from strains of influenza viruses A and B, presented
his findings on April 27 at the National Foundation for Infectious Disease
Conference for Vaccine Research in Baltimore. |
