Suresh K. Mittal, DVM, PhD, Distinguished Professor of Virology, Purdue, will present "Development of Universal Influenza Vaccine and its Implication of Pandemic" on Thursday, March 7 at 12:30 p.m. in LYNN 1136.
While candidate vaccines can be made for individual influenza strains, preparing vaccine stocks for each potential pandemic virus is impractical. Moreover, the nature of the pandemic influenza virus will be known during the pandemic. Therefore, it will be practical to develop a universal influenza vaccine that could confer adequate protection against seasonal influenza A viruses (H1N1 and H3N2) as well as potential pandemic avian influenza A viruses (H5N1, H7N7, H7N9, and H9N2). Influenza vaccines expressing hemagglutinin (HA), neuraminidase (NA), nucleoprotein (NP) matrix protein 1 (M1), or immunogenic domains or epitopes have been developed and showed potential in providing significant protection against influenza viruses in experimental animals or human clinical trials. Our efforts towards creating an adenoviral vector-based universal influenza vaccine will be discussed.
This special seminar is hosted by the Purdue College of Veterinary Medicine.
