Longevity of the cross-reactive CD8 T cell response. Naïve ferrets were infected intranasally with H1N1pdm09 (H1N1pdm09, n = 7), or mock infected (Mock; n = 6). Peripheral blood leukocytes were purified weekly for 6 weeks, and CD8 T cell responses assessed by stimulation with live virus consisting of a panel of contemporary and historical influenza strains (A). Splenocytes were collected 6 weeks post-infection and stimulated with the panel of influenza strains (B). Responding CD8 + IFN-γ + T cells were assessed by flow cytometry. Significance from the mock infected group is indicated by *p < 0.05, p < 0.01, p < 0.001. Error bars represent SEM.
