Does immunization of chickens with Newcastle disease virus expressing H5 hemagglutinin protect against highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza viruses?
Our results suggest that these chimeric viruses have potential as safe and effective bivalent vaccines against NDV and. HPAIV. These vaccines will be convenient and affordable, which will be highly beneficial to the poultry industry. Furthermore, immunization with these vaccines will permit serological differentiation of vaccinated and avian influenza field virus infected animals.
MPAP and resistance in the upper normal range at rest and moderate exercise are associated with decreased exercise capacity and may indicate early pulmonary vasculopathy in patients with systemic sclerosis. Investigations on the prognostic and therapeutic implications of such borderline findings are warranted. Clinical trial registered with http://www.clinicaltrials.gov (NCT00609349).
