L'enveloppe [virale] est composée de la double couche lipidique de la membrane de l'hôte ainsi que de protéines d'origine virale. Les protéines situées du côté externe de la membrane sont toujours des protéines glycosylées et forment des spicules appelés aussi des peplomères. Ces dernières sont responsables d'activités biologiques comme l'hémagglutinine, la neuraminidase, protéines de fusion des enveloppes lipidiques. 4, record 2, French, - h%C3%A9magglutinine

Une étude récente a démontré une bonne protection contre le H5N1 sur des souris suite à l'inoculation avec un vaccin contre le virus influenza H5 créé par génie génétique. La protection était atteinte malgré des différences antigéniques entre la souche du vaccin et le virus ciblé. [...] Une deuxième étude a suggéré que l'utilisation d'adjuvants dans le vaccin prototype pourrait favoriser le développement d'anticorps capable de neutraliser une souche pandémique jusqu'à ce qu'un vaccin adéquat soit disponible. 2, record 4, French, - vaccin%20prototype
