Re: Bird flu mutating to infect people more easily
Upon reading the webconferences.com presentation, on page 40 there is an interesting chart on "Neutralizing antibodies to a virus with the 1918 virus HA & NA."
Perhaps some of our highly qualified members could comment on why (after many years of being nearly zero) those 1918 antibodies would rise after the 1957 H2N2, 1968 H3N2, and 1979 H1N1 mini-pandemics.
If someone can copy page 40
(http://www.webconferences.com/nihoba/ppt/Biosafety%20final%20Kawaoka.pdf),
it would be helpful.
