Age and different influenza viruses

Because the H7 subtype belongs to group 2 haemagglutinins, most stalk-specific neutralising antibodies induced against the H2 subtype are unlikely to be cross-reactive to the H7 subtype. [...]the older group might have no more resistance against the H7 subtype than do the younger age group, resultin...

Zusammenfassung:Because the H7 subtype belongs to group 2 haemagglutinins, most stalk-specific neutralising antibodies induced against the H2 subtype are unlikely to be cross-reactive to the H7 subtype. [...]the older group might have no more resistance against the H7 subtype than do the younger age group, resulting in the more typical age distribution of H7N9 subtype as an infectious disease.
