wl and survival strongly depends on initial dose (limit ~5e4pfu)
NT/68 protects a bit, reason unclear
"inactivated vaccines" , I still don't know whether this is whole-virus or only HA or HA+NA

cross reactive neutralizing antibodies , I don't fully understand this , skip that part
reason for protection are the epitopes (--> humoral ?)

however the yellow escape mutation positions are identical in 1918 and 2009
=== page 11 , 13:47
make a more complete table of antigenic sites of ~50 viruses , human and swine, 1918-2009 (later)
thinks protection from cell-based immunity and NA play a minor rule
good protection by Tx/91 is unexplained (I remember that that particular strain caused
some GB)
what's monoclonal,polyclonal ?
1976 - why do we have no estimates, how many % of ******-infected people had had
the 1976 vax ? (just ask them !)
the protection back to 1943, does it also hold for the 1977-semi-pandemic , which also
mainly infected children ?
so longterm protection (1943 back to 1918 up to 2009 = 116 years
yet the seasonal vaccine is often a bad match (why ?)
H1N1 antigenically frozen in pigs ? -----edit----- yes, see e.g. the antigenic site Sb in the table below
=== page 12 , 14:08
possible future pandemics from frozen viruses {but we can prepare with vaccine}
same study in humans ? ******=CA/09 is not lethal, usually mild, most people will be infected
earlier or later anyway. In USA, where this site is located, they even have death-penalty,
so you could use these people. However, not in the same country since else the judges might
be more willing to speak death penalties. It all depends on _how many_ such experiments
in humans you wanted to do. Probably not reasonable in this case, but when we get
a severe H5N1-pandemic it could be important.
First verify some few of the results in ferrets or swine

references not read
~4.5 hours in total , 2 tables still to be made , the central table still to be studied and
the results comprehended,learned,visualized
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
the tables are not near the referring text
the whole paper writing process is ineffective, you need to long to rea it and the abstract
and author summary is not informative enough (IMO)
Why these long papers and no shorter presentations ?
In math you skip the proofs and just read the theorems for a first understanding,
what are the theorems here ?
it took 9 months, too late for wave 1,wave 2,(wave 3 in Mex.)
pdf , no data are given , so I had to estimate the values for my central table
from graphs.
Data would be useful so we can make our own tables, own graphs ,
maybe better presented. I assume this is not in the interest of the authors and that's
why data and computer-readable tables and plain text (easy to quote and discuss in forums)
are usually not provided (?)
