Using Pigs to Evaluate Flu Antibody Therapies
Scientists at The Pirbright Institute, working closely with Inovio Pharmaceuticals, have proven that pigs can be used to determine whether influenza antibody therapies are effective. The team’s new research, recently published in the Journal of Immunology, found that a human antibody (2-12C) can neutralize the H1N1 2009 flu pandemic virus in pigs, which provides protection against
