A major concern about the ongoing swine-origin H1N1 influenza virus (S-OIV) outbreak is that the virus may be so different from seasonal H1N1 that little immune protection exists in the human population. In this study, we examined the molecular basis for pre-existing immunity against S-OIV, namely the recognition of viral immune epitopes by T cells or B cells/antibodies that have been previously primed by circulating influenza strains.
Winter chill has finally settled in the national Capital. On Thursday, Delhi witnessed a drizzle-drenched day with the minimum temperature dipping down to 15 degrees Celsius. This made it the coldest November day in the last five years in the city.
The maximum temperature was recorded at 22.4 degrees Celsius.
