Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>Humoral immune response will be determined by the Haemagluttination inhibition<br /><br>test and respose is defined by the achievement of titres >40, which are<br /><br>considered protective.<br /><br>Enzyme linked ImmunoSPOT (ELIspot) will also quantify influenza specific B cell<br /><br>response.<br /><br><br /><br>the cellular immune response will be measured by Intracellular Cytokine (i.e.<br /><br>IFN*, IL-2 and TNFa) detection by Flow Cytometry and assessment of<br /><br>proliferation of CD4 and CD8 T cells by Flow Cytometry.<br /><br><br /><br>these parameters in patients will be compared to healthy controls</p><br>
