Back to the future: Immunization with M-001 prior to trivalent influenza vaccine in 2011/12 enhanced protective immune responses against 2014/15 epidemic strain
There is an urgent need for a better flu vaccine with broad specificity. M-001 vaccine is based on conserved influenza peptides. M-001 can be used as a primer that enhances HAI response to TIV in human. Sera of elderly immunized with M-001 and TIV contained HAI Ab to future epidemic strain. M-001 influenza vaccine can broaden protective immunity and improve the health of elderly.
