we've seen a few threads like this but i was amazed at this article i found after seeing it on the news;
Quote:Going for a yearly flu shot may become a thing of the past. British and Swiss scientists recently discovered a flu “super antibody” that can fight several strains of the flu virus and could soon lead to one universal shot, Reuters reports.
After being tested on mice and ferrets, the F16 antibody was found to combat all 16 subtypes of the influenza A virus, which are responsible for causing disease in humans and animals. source:
