| Subject: 'Super antibody' fights off flu Sat Jul 30, 2011 4:36 am | |
| The first antibody which can fight all types of the influenza A virus has been discovered, researchers claim.
Experiments on flu-infected mice, published in Science Express, showed the antibody could be used as an "emergency treatment".
It is hoped the development will lead to a "universal vaccine" - currently a new jab has to be made for each winter as viruses change.
