Therefore, if a virus with a new HA and/or NA glycoprotein emerges in the human population, cell-mediated immunity directed against the highly conserved internal proteins could have a role in protection at the time of a pandemic (14) . Although most influenza vaccines are designed to induce HA-specific antibody responses to protect the host from infection, the biology of avian influenza viruses presents several unique challenges compared with human influenza viruses. DNA vaccines encoding the HA and NA glycoproteins of avian influenza viruses or conserved internal virus proteins, such as matrix proteins and nucleoproteins, induced protective immunity in mice and chickens (90) (91) (92) (93) . ./cache/cord-017748-xy26tk0t.txt ./txt/cord-017748-xy26tk0t.txt
