Immunity Against the H1N1
One of the mysteries to be solved since the emergence of new H1N1 virus was whether those who had already suffered a flu throughout their lives were immunized against this pathogen.
After much debate, a team of researchers at the La Jolla Institute for Allergy and Immunology (USA) has found the answer. Their research indicates H1N1 has similarities with some of the influenza viruses that have circulated over the past 20 years, so that those who have spent any flu are partly protected.
