Vaccination of mice with a live attenuated infl uenza vaccine or an alum-adjuvanted inactivated infl u-enza vaccine based on a related H5 HA from a nonpathogenic avian infl uenza virus, A/Duck/Pottsdam/1042-6/86 (H5N2), limited the disease severity and reduced deaths following challenge with a current highly pathogenic infl uenza (H5N1) (23) . Genes of highly conserved proteins such as the nucleoprotein or M2 proteins could be included in adenovirus vector-based vaccines because immune responses against these infl uenza viral antigens provide protection in animal models (24, 25) . Cross-protective immunity in mice induced by live-attenuated or inactivated vaccines against highly pathogenic infl uenza A (H5N1) viruses ./cache/cord-000194-cwzpb8fu.txt ./txt/cord-000194-cwzpb8fu.txt
