- For the CMI response (in a subset of subjects) • Frequency of influenza-specific CD4/CD8 T-cells in tests producing at least CD40L and another signal molecule. [ Time Frame: At Day 0, Day 21, Day 42, Month 6, Month 6 + 21 days, and Month 12 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- For the CMI response (in a subset of subjects) • Frequency of influenza-specific CD4/CD8 T-cells in tests producing at least Interleukin-2 (IL-2) and another signal molecule . [ Time Frame: At Day 0, Day 21, Day 42, Month 6, Month 6 + 21 days, and Month 12 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- For the CMI response (in a subset of subjects) • Frequency of influenza-specific CD4/CD8 T-cells in tests producing at least Tumour necrotic factor (TNF-α) and another signal molecule [ Time Frame: At Day 0, Day 21, Day 42, Month 6, Month 6 + 21 days, and Month 12 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
