Scientists may have found a way to combat a strain of the bird flu. When they injected the blood of four Vietnamese bird flu survivors into mice infected with the flu strain, the mice survived. The mice that were not injected with the blood died. Researchers hope this will eventually lead to stockpiles of antibodies that could be used during a flu pandemic.

Researchers in Switzerland have successfully immunized mice against the H5N1 strain of bird flu using human antibodies taken from survivors of the deadly virus, according to a study released Tuesday.

Four people in Britain who tested positive for a mild strain of bird flu should serve as a reminder that a virus other than the feared H5N1 strain could also provoke a flu pandemic, experts say.

Blood donated by four survivors of bird flu seems to harbor a potent protection against the deadly virus. Scientists have long suspected that culling immune-system molecules from survivors could provide a new therapy for the hard-to-treat H5N1 flu strain. Monday, an international team of researchers reported the first evidence, albeit from tests in mice, that it really may work.
