The doctors hope to enrol 70 people with good antibodies in the study, especially since the amount of people successfully producing flu antibodies is generally lower this winter than last winter.
Kelvin To, a clinical assistant professor at the University of Hong Kong's microbiology department, said he believed that this year's flu virus would prove hardier than most.
Owing to the dry cold and the length of the winter this year, this year's version of the swine flu virus may have an increased chance of surviving over other types of swine flu.
In the last few weeks, H1N1 swine flu was responsible for the deaths of 10 people in Hong Kong, and put 51 into intensive care units, some in critical condition.
The swine flu virus accounts for about 90% of all cases of flu, up from 40% last winter, when a seasonal flu variety predominated.
