Heterosubtypic immunity
(Redirected from Heterosubtypic)
Heterosubtypic immunity (HSI) is "cross-protection to infection with an influenza A virus serotype other than the one used for primary infection."[1] In layman's terms, an "infection with 'seasonal' influenza A viruses could induce immunity against unrelated sub-strains."[2]
