- Scientists used antibodies from llamas to produce a universal flu vaccine. Mice given the vaccine were protected from various strains of influenza A and B viruses. Immunity occurred after just three days and was achieved at lower doses compared to another candidate vaccine. https://www.realclearscience.com/quick_and_clear_science/2018/11/01/llamas_could_lead_us_to_a_universal_flu_vaccine.html 427 comments science
- New influenza vaccine shows signs of protection against dozen-plus flu strains in mice and pigs, including swine flu strains which drove pandemics in 2009 and 1918, outperforming current commercial vaccines, and bolsters promise of a universal flu vaccine for humans. https://news.unl.edu/newsrooms/today/article/vaccine-shows-signs-of-protection-against-dozen-plus-flu-strains/ 397 comments science
- Researchers designed a 'Nanoparticle' vaccine that, in initial animal tests, points to the possibility of a universal flu vaccine that provides long-term protection against serious illness from both ordinary and novel flu strains https://www.scripps.edu/news-and-events/press-room/2023/20231206-zhu-nanoparticle-vaccine.html 16 comments science
- New influenza vaccine shows signs of protection against more than a dozen swine flu strains, including those responsible for pandemics in 2009 and 1918. Not only did it outperform current commercial vaccines, but it strengthens promise of a universal flu vaccine for humans. https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/medical/a-universal-flu-vaccine-study-suggests-protection-against-multiple-strains-perhaps-for-years-may-be-possible/ar-bb1efp7w 4 comments science
- A new generation of universal flu vaccines has been designed by an international team of scientists. The first vaccine is said to be able to provide protection against 88% of known influenza strains globally, while the second, aimed at the American market, covers up to 95% of known US flu strains. http://sciencenewsjournal.com/scientists-design-universal-flu-vaccine/ 16 comments worldnews
- DNA vaccine promises permanent, universal protection against the flu - New vaccine contains DNA coding for proteins from four different flu strains, plus protein universally shared across all strains. A strong immune response was triggered in immunized primates when exposed to different strains. https://newatlas.com/dna-vaccine-flu-universal/52768/ 17 comments science
