title: Antibody responses to influenza vaccines containing A/New Jersey/8/76.
abstract: Studies were undertaken with whole virus, subunit and adsorbed subunit influenza vaccines containing the A/New Jersey/8/76 strain to compare the antibody response induced by immunization with these vaccines. There were no significant differences in the haemagglutination-inhibiton (HI) antibody responses to A/New Jersey/8/76 induced by these vaccines in the adult groups under study. Vaccinees over 23 years of age produced good HI antibody responses to one dose of vaccine. Neuraminidase antibody and complement-fixing (CF) antibody responses were determined for the A/Victoria/3/75 component of bivalent vaccines. There were significant increases in neuraminidase inhibiting (NI) antibody titres but no increase in the complement-fixing antibody titres after vaccination.
