This study compares innate immune responses to Victoria and Yamagata influenza B viruses, finding lineage-specific differences in immune kinetics, gene expression, and cellular tropism.

This study shows that serial passage of a human-origin H3N2 virus in swine tracheal epithelial cells selects for adaptive HA mutations that increase viral fitness in swine cells.

This study shows that contemporary Influenza B Victoria viruses provide cross-protection against Yamagata viruses, while Yamagata viruses do not offer similar protection, suggesting neuraminidase antibodies may be key to this asymmetry.

This paper develops a modified live influenza virus vaccine (RAM-IGIP) that enhances humoral and mucosal immunity against influenza, showing complete protection in mice.
