Genomic and phenotypic analysis of 30 influenza B viruses, isolated in Italy in 1984, antigenically closely related to the B/USSR/100/83 prototype virus, was carried out using T1oligonucleotide fingerprinting of total RNA and one-dimensional peptide mapping.

β¦ Synopsis
Antigenically heterogeneous strains and new variants of influenza A viruses, both A (H3N2) and (H1N1) subtypes, as well as influenza B strains were detected in Italy in a period, between 1984-1987, characterized by a moderate degree of influenza activity. Each year the evaluation, by SRH technique, of antibodies, in the population, to currently circulating viruses, has confirmed the extent of infection and often the prevalent virus.

Laboratory investigations of virus isolation and serum antibodies in a Mediterranean country (Italy) demonstrated that influenza A and B viruses, and often both, circulated every winter in Italy. The winter 1987/88 was characterized by a low level of influenza activity, as shown by the limited numb
## Abstract During the 2001β2002 influenza season, virological surveillance highlighted the predominant circulation of B viruses (86% of isolates) in Italy, in contrast to many other countries in Europe and North America where AH3N2 viruses were isolated most frequently, and in contrast to the infr
A human T-cell line, B3, has been obtained by cloning spleen cells at limiting dilutions in the presence of influenza-A-virus-infected autologous cells. B3 cells were OKT 3+4+8 -, E rosetting +, Sig-and were HLA-DR (+) after stimulation and HLA-DR (-) when resting. They proliferate specifically in t
