Vaccine, 2008•ElsevierThe influenza viruses are characterized by segmented, negative-strand RNA genomes
requiring an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase of viral origin for replication. The particular
structure of the influenza virus genome and function of its viral proteins enable antigenic drift
and antigenic shift. These processes result in viruses able to evade the long-term adaptive
immune responses in many hosts.
