SUMMARY: Influenza A viruses (IAVs) are important human pathogens, which cause seasonal epidemics and sporadic pandemics. The ongoing threat posed by emerging zoonotic influenza viruses, for which humans are immunologically naïve, represents a major global concern. Current influenza vaccines elicit narrow, strain- specific immunity, are overly reliant on egg-based manufacturing, have a prolonged production process, and fail to elicit robust cellular and humoral immune responses to multiple IAV antigens (Ags) simultaneously. The variable effectiveness of seasonal influenza vaccines, has highlighted the importance of investing in the early pre-clinical evaluation of innovative vaccines which…
