Humans Versus Animal Responses

Project Description

Most influenza surveillance utilizes antibody responses from ferrets (outnumbering the amount of human data by 10-fold). While it is known that ferret responses can differ from human responses, it is not clear when or how their responses will differ. Using ferret data, we will predict the value±error for human experiments, which will help refine influenza vaccine selection (that is currently determined through ferret studies).
