24-Jul-2019skeaywhat affect does whole killed virus vaccines (vs purified antigen vaccines) have on broader genetic and antigenic diversity of swine influenza viruses versus human circulating influenza viruses? does full spectrum exposure to multiple dominant and sub-dominant epitopes contribute to greater antigenic diversity?
