[h=1]A perspective of nanoparticle universal influenza vaccines.[/h] Deng L, Wang BZ.
[h=3]Abstract[/h] Annual influenza infections cause massive economic loss and pose severe threats to public health worldwide. Seasonal influenza vaccines are the most effective means of preventing influenza infections, but they still possess major weaknesses. Seasonal influenza vaccines require annual updating of the vaccine strains and it is difficult to predict future circulating strains accurately. This forecasting of future circulating strains is necessary because of the slow process of producing the vaccine in chicken eggs. When this forecast is inaccurate, the seasonal vaccine provides little protection efficacy against the circulating strains, especially novel and unpredictable pandemic strains.
