Open full text 2 citations

Abstract

Haemagglutination-inhibiting antibodies against A, A′ and A2strains of influenza virus and against one strain of influenza B were estimated in sera from blood donors in Sydney in February 1958 and in April and October 1961. The A2antibody increased substantially while both A and A′ antibodies declined slightly. There was a great decline in influenza B antibody during the same period. Thanks are due to Dr Phyllis M. Rountree who suggested this study. Miss Patricia Taylor gave excellent technical assistance in the early part of this work.
