This means, that new, adapted vaccines must be used against influenza viruses every year, so that people with a weak immune system in particular can protect themselves from an influenza that is life-threatening for them. The results of Professor Meyer-Hermann&#8217;s computer simulation suggest that it is possible to promote the natural formation of broadly neutralising antibodies by injecting antibodies against dominant viral components. This provides a basis for the development of new innovative vaccines and therapies. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/31665624\">The research results were published in the prestigious journal &#8220;Cell Reports&#8221;.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>More information can be found on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.systems-immunology.de\">the homepage of Professor Meyer-Hermann&#8217;s research group &#8220;System Immunology&#8221; at the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research (HZI) in Braunschweig<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The original publication &#8220;Injection of Antibodies against Immunodominant Epitopes Tunes Germinal Centers to Generate Broadly Neutralizing Antibodies&#8221; can be found <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/31665624\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-sep-clear\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-bottom:30px;width:100%;\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-sep-clear\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-aligncenter\"><a class=\"fusion-button button-flat button-xlarge button-default fusion-button-default button-1 fusion-button-default-span fusion-button-default-type buttonstapel-mitte\" target=\"_self\" href=\"https:\/\/www.resist-cluster.de\/forschung\/\"><span class=\"fusion-button-text\">More information about our research<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":8231,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8084","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.resist-cluster.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8084","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.resist-cluster.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.resist-cluster.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.resist-cluster.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.resist-cluster.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8084"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.resist-cluster.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8084\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8087,"href":"https:\/\/www.resist-cluster.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8084\/revisions\/8087"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.resist-cluster.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8231"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.resist-cluster.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8084"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.resist-cluster.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8084"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.resist-cluster.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8084"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
