Attenuated Vaccines for Augmented Immunity

Publication date: 8 March 2017

Author(s): Stylianos Bournazos, Jeffrey V. Ravetch
Live attenuated vaccines are more immunogenic and have the capacity to elicit long-lasting immune responses. In two recent studies, Wang et al. (2017) and Si et al. (2016) describe strategies for the generation of live attenuated influenza viruses, which elicited robust humoral, mucosal, and cellular immunity against diverse virus strains.
