Antibodies that could protect against bird flu in humans have been isolated by an international team of scientists. It’s hoped human trials of the bird flu antibody could begin soon.

Scientists working in Switzerland, Vietnam and the United States say they have isolated antibodies that they hope could offer protection against several different strains of the virus simultaneously.

The discovery could lead to treatments that complement flu vaccines in the event of a human epidemic of the virus.
