    Snippet: In summary, this study has illustrated that H5N1-M2e may provide potent cross-protection against lethal challenge from a novel avian influenza A H7N9 virus, even though approximately 21% amino acids were different existed between H5N1-M2e and H7N9-M2e. These results suggest that the M2e tetrameric peptide may provide broad spectrum of cross-protection against infections by heterogeneous influenza viruses. The M2e tetrameric peptide may be a promi.....
    Document: In summary, this study has illustrated that H5N1-M2e may provide potent cross-protection against lethal challenge from a novel avian influenza A H7N9 virus, even though approximately 21% amino acids were different existed between H5N1-M2e and H7N9-M2e. These results suggest that the M2e tetrameric peptide may provide broad spectrum of cross-protection against infections by heterogeneous influenza viruses. The M2e tetrameric peptide may be a promising candidate for the development of a universal vaccine. To improve the vaccine's protection, the M2e vaccine may be used together with inactivated virus, HA-subunit and/or other types of vaccines. Complete protection has been reported in the combined use of an M2e-based vaccine and inactivated virus vaccine. 37
