Note however, that the antibodies discovered by this team are only working for H1 and H5 flu viruses, not for H3 viruses, which are responsible for outbreaks of regular seasonal influenza (in addition to H1 viruses). The other perennial issue is the emergence of resistance. As we have seen this season with H1 viruses, they are now almost entierly resistant to oseltamivir (tamiflu). So having a broad range of possible pharmaceutical interventions available is certainly a good thing. This is quite interesting research indeed.
