Abstract: Recombinant constructs, influenza viral genomes including the recombinant constructs, influenza viruses including the constructs, and vaccine formulations formed thereof for inducing or increasing an immune response against influenza virus are provided. The compositions typically include a nucleic acid having a nucleic acid sequence encoding IgA-inducing protein (IGIP) polypeptide that can positively regulate IgA expression operably linked to expression of a hemagglutinin or a neuraminidase. When the nucleic acid is expressed by recombinant influenza virus in infected cells, it preferably enhances IgA production against influenza virus. Live attenuated virus expressing IGIP, and methods of use thereof for treating and preventing influenza infections are also provided.

Fastening mechanisms may be provided at either or both ends for attaching the first panel to the crib. The breathable body portion may have an air permeability of between 385 CFM and 1530 CFM, a light permeability of between 47 and 99%, and a CO2 rebreathing value of less than 20%.

Abstract: In general a crib includes a first and second side that each have a first perimeter support having a bottom support portion, a first breathable material retained by the perimeter support, and a lateral support member that further supports the breathable material in a position within the perimeter support and attached to the perimeter support. The crib also includes third and fourth sides, wherein the first, second, third and fourth sides define an interior. The crib further includes a mattress support platform positioned in the interior and movable between a first position proximate the lateral support member and a second, lower position proximate the bottom portion of the perimeter support. The breathable material has an air permeability of between 385 CFM to 1530 CFM and a light permeability of between 47 and 99%.
