However, this approach is strain-specific. It has limited efficacy against unexpected variants or antigenic drift and shift. Antigenic drift refers to small, gradual mutations in the influenza ...

Christopher Lee, DVM, MPH, DACVPM, explains why early detection and enhanced biosecurity are essential for mitigating the spread of highly pathogenic avian influenza ...

In 1947, the vaccine was unexpectedly less efficient; it was discovered that the antigenic composition of the circulating virus had changed and antigenic drift ... and antigenic shift was ...

Usually such mutations are minor, resulting in a process called antigenic drift. Even minor changes ... form a new strain that is called antigenic shift. Such a significant mutation occurs ...

"This strategy is known as antigenic variation," explains physicist Maria Colomé-Tatché, who is Professor of Functional Genomics and Cell Biology at LMU's Biomedical Center and leader of the ...

The transporters associated with antigen processing (TAPs) allow antigenic peptides that have been generated in the cytosol to be transported into the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER ...
