季節性流感造成全球每年約290,000-650,000人的死亡。739Please respect copyright.PENANABnKLEuLGgc

流感病毒接近每年均會出現變種,基於現時並無統一疫苗對抗各品種,所以很多時候在翌年便要轉換對應的疫苗。739Please respect copyright.PENANAiiM2K8YWI6

(圖2)流感病毒外部、名為HA的部份,將主宰病毒能否進入人體細胞裡頭。739Please respect copyright.PENANAjct1TcteRs

流感病毒的變異較常出現在頭部位置(Head),而現時疫苗的設計亦主要針對HA的頭部位置。739Please respect copyright.PENANAGXW7Iw28pq
739Please respect copyright.PENANAlIwO6jk18z
其目標是希望人們注射疫苗後,體內會產生對應HA頭部位置的抗體,阻止病毒進入人體細胞繼而作惡。739Please respect copyright.PENANAT1Rou6QJYS

(圖3)另一方面來想,流感病毒變種就如不同顏色的花朵一樣。739Please respect copyright.PENANAcoHW7C4Tqk

雖然花朵各有不同,但莖部位置則大同小異。739Please respect copyright.PENANAJNz0bZSggP

(圖4)基於Stalk位置(花朵莖部位置)的變異成數較細,現時科學家正研發針對Stalk位置的疫苗(Ref1),希望可以透過一款疫苗對抗多款流感變種。739Please respect copyright.PENANAyE4OLS1wvr

這類型的疫苗現時已進入Phase1狀態,人體試驗找來了51名人士,注射疫苗後體內亦得出相應的大量抗體。739Please respect copyright.PENANAIfV1g6MQGg
739Please respect copyright.PENANAKKaDXpyKAY
而日後所進行的人體試驗,將會能夠獲取資料測量疫苗能否達到預防流感之效。739Please respect copyright.PENANAEhpvE2z6pT
739Please respect copyright.PENANAJQv46d3Bfl
若安全性、效率等等均達到合理水平的話,將來不但之可以不用經常轉換疫苗款式,亦能大大減低疫苗與當下流感款式不吻合的機會,皆大歡喜。739Please respect copyright.PENANADTs4StK0rZ
