Vet Microbiol. 2014 Feb 21;169(1-2):96-101. doi: 10.1016/j.vetmic.2013.12.009. Epub 2013 Dec 25.

Abstract

Neutralizing antibodies against different swine influenza A viruses and pandemic H1N1 were analyzed in pigs before and after the pandemic. While in 2009 neutralization of the pandemic virus could be explained by cross-reaction with swine influenza viruses this was not the case in at least 2 farms in 2012.

Keywords: Cross-reaction; Influenza A; Neutralizing antibodies; Pandemic 2009; Pig.
