Heterosubtypic immunity

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Heterosubtypic)

"Heterosubtypic immunity (HSI) is defined as cross-protection to infection with an influenza A virus serotype other than the one used for primary infection."[1] In layman's terms: an 'infection with "seasonal" influenza A viruses could induce immunity against unrelated sub-strains.'[2]
