    • Functional and Binding H1N1pdm09-Specific Antibody Responses in Occasionally and Repeatedly Vaccinated Healthcare Workers: A Five-Year Study (2009-2014) 

      Amdam, Håkon; Madsen, Anders; Zhou, Fan; Bansal, Amit; Trieu, Mai Chi; Cox, Rebecca Jane (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Background: In 2009, a novel influenza A/H1N1pdm09 emerged and caused a pandemic. This strain continued to circulate and was therefore included in the seasonal vaccines up to the 2016/2017-season. This provided a unique ...
    • Persistently high antibody responses after AS03-adjuvanted H1N1pdm09 vaccine: Dissecting the HA specific antibody response 

      Madsen, Anders; Jul-Larsen, Åsne; Trieu, Mai Chi; Krammer, Florian; Cox, Rebecca Jane (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Current influenza vaccines have a suboptimal effectiveness. The introduction of a novel A/H1N1 influenza virus in 2009 (H1N1pdm09) provided a unique opportunity to study the humoral response to the AS03-adjuvanted H1N1pdm09 ...
