BALB/c mice immunized with graded doses of chromatographically purified hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) antigens derived from A/Hong Kong/1/68 (H3N2) influenza virus demonstrated equivalent responses when HA-specific and NA-specific serum antibodies were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs). Antibody responses measured by hemagglutination inhibition or neuraminidase inhibition titrations showed similar kinetic patterns, except for more rapid decline in hemagglutination inhibition antibody. Injection of mice with either purified HA or NA resulted in immunity manifested by reduction in pulmonary virus following challenge with virus containing homologous antigens. However, the nature of the immunity induced by the two antigens differed markedly. While HA immunization with all but the lowest doses of antigen prevented manifest infection, immunization with NA was infection-permissive at all antigen doses, although reduction in pulmonary virus was proportional to the amount of antigen administered. The immunizing but infection-permissive effect of NA immunization over a wide range of doses is in accord with results of earlier studies with mice in which single doses of NA and antigenically hybrid viruses were used. The demonstrable immunogenicity of highly purified NA as a single glycoprotein without adjuvant offers a novel infection-permissive approach with potentially low toxicity for human immunization against influenza virus. 相似文献

Maternal immunization is the major form of protection against many infectious diseases in early life. In this report, transmission of vaccine-specific maternal antibodies and protection of offspring against a lethal influenza virus challenge were studied. Adult female BALB/c mice were immunized intramuscularly with plasmid DNAs encoding influenza virus hemagglutinin (HA), neuraminidase (NA), or mixture of the two plasmids. The levels of specific antibodies in sera of offspring at different ages and the survival rates following the lethal viral challenge were valued. The results showed effective transmission of maternal antibodies and long-lasting protection in offspring. Along with the growth of offspring, the antibody titers in vivo decreased and the ability against virus infection decreased accordingly. The HA-specific maternal antibodies protected the offspring from a lethal influenza infection up to 2 weeks old, and the NA-specific maternal antibodies protected offspring up to 4 weeks old. Furthermore, antibodies transferred by the mother immunized with the mixture of HA and NA DNAs protected the offspring up to 6 weeks old. This suggests that maternal immunization with a mixture of HA and NA DNAs provide the most effective protection against the virus challenge for the offspring of mice. 相似文献

IgA knockout mice (IgA-/-) were generated by gene targeting and were used to determine the role of IgA in protection against mucosal infection by influenza and the value of immunization for preferential induction of secretory IgA. Aerosol challenge of naive IgA-/- mice and their wild-type IgA+/+ littermates with sublethal and lethal doses of influenza virus resulted in similar levels of pulmonary virus infection and mortality. Intranasal and i.p. immunization with influenza vaccine plus cholera toxin/cholera toxin B induced significant mucosal and serum influenza hemagglutinin-specific IgA Abs in IgA+/+ (but not IgA-/-) mice as well as IgG and IgM Abs in both IgA-/- and IgA+/+ mice; both exhibited similar levels of pulmonary and nasal virus replication and mortality following a lethal influenza virus challenge. Monoclonal anti-hemagglutinin IgG1, IgG2a, IgM, and polymeric IgA Abs were equally effective in preventing influenza virus infection in IgA-/- mice. These results indicate that IgA is not required for prevention of influenza virus infection and disease. Indeed, while mucosal immunization for selective induction of IgA against influenza may constitute a useful approach for control of influenza and other respiratory viral infections, strategies that stimulate other Igs in addition may be more desirable. 相似文献

Influenza virus infection frequently causes complications and some excess mortality in the patients with diabetes. Vaccination is an effective measure to prevent influenza virus infection. In this paper, antibody response and protection against influenza virus infection induced by vaccination were studied in mouse model of diabetes. Healthy and diabetic BALB/c mice were immunized once or twice with inactivated influenza virus vaccine at various dosages. Four weeks after the first immunization or 1 week after the second immunization, the mice were challenged with influenza virus at a lethal dose. The result showed that the antibody responses in diabetic mice were inhibited. Immunization once with high dose or twice with low dose of vaccine provided full protection against lethal influenza virus challenge in diabetic mice, however, in healthy mice, immunization only once with low dose provided a full protection. 相似文献

The nucleoprotein (NP) of influenza A virus is the dominant antigen recognized by influenza virus-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs), and adoptive transfer of NP-specific CTLs protects mice from influenza A virus infection. BALB/c mouse cells (H-2d) recognize a single Kd-restricted CTL epitope of NP consisting of amino acids 147 to 155. In the present study, mice were immunized with various vaccinia virus recombinant viruses to examine the effect of the induction of primary pulmonary CTLs on resistance to challenge with influenza A/Puerto Rico/8/34 virus. The minigene ESNP(147-155)-VAC construct, composed of a signal sequence from the adenovirus E3/19K glycoprotein (designated ES) and expressing the 9-amino-acid NP natural determinant (amino acids 147 to 155) preceded by an alanine residue, a similar minigene NP(Met 147-155)-VAC lacking ES, and a full-length NP-VAC recombinant of influenza virus were analyzed. The two minigene NP-VAC recombinants induced a greater primary pulmonary CTL response than the full-length NP-VAC recombinant. However, NP-specific CTLs induced by immunization with ESNP(147-155)-VAC did not decrease peak virus titer or accelerate clearance of virus in the lungs of mice challenged intranasally with A/PR/8/34. Furthermore, NP-specific CTLs induced by immunization did not protect mice challenged intranasally with a lethal dose of A/PR/8/34. Sequence analysis of the NP CTL epitope of A/PR/8/34 challenge virus obtained from lungs after 8 days of replication in ESNP(147-155)-VAC-immunized mice showed identity with that of the input virus, demonstrating that an escape mutant had not emerged during replication in vivo. Thus, in contrast to adoptively transferred CTLs, pulmonary NP-specific CTLs induced by recombinant vaccinia virus immunization do not have protective in vivo antiviral activity against influenza virus infection. 相似文献

Protection against avian influenza H9N2 virus challenge by immunization with hemagglutinin- or neuraminidase-expressing DNA in BALB/c mice 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6

Avian influenza viruses of H9N2 subtype are widely spread in avian species. The viruses have recently been transmitted to mammalian species, including humans, accelerating the efforts to devise protective strategies against them. In this study, an avian influenza H9N2 virus strain (A/Chicken/Jiangsu/7/2002), isolated in Jiangsu Province, China, was used to infect BALB/c mice for adaptation. After five lung-to-lung passages, the virus was stably proliferated in a large quantity in the murine lung and caused the deaths of mice. In addition, we explored the protection induced by H9N2 virus hemagglutinin (HA)- and neuraminidase (NA)-expressing DNAs in BALB/c mice. Female BALB/c mice aged 6-8 weeks were immunized once or twice at a 3-week interval with HA-DNA and NA-DNA by electroporation, respectively, each at a dose of 3, 10 or 30microg. The mice were challenged with a lethal dose (40x LD(50)) of influenza H9N2 virus four weeks after immunization once or one week after immunization twice. The protections of DNA vaccines were evaluated by the serum antibody titers, residual lung virus titers, and survival rates of the mice. The result showed that immunization once with not less than 10microg or twice with 3microg HA-DNA or NA-DNA provided effective protection against homologous avian influenza H9N2 virus. 相似文献

The reverse genetics system has made it possible to modify the influenza virus genome. By this method, we were able to assess influenza virus as a vaccine vector for protecting BALB/c mice against otherwise lethal lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) infection. A single dose of influenza virus [A/WSN/33 (H1N1)] bearing a cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-specific epitope of the LCMV nucleoprotein (residues 116 to 127) in the neuraminidase stalk protected mice against LCMV challenge for at least 4 months. The immunity was mediated by cytotoxic T lymphocytes and was haplotype specific, indicating that the observed protective response was solely a consequence of prior priming with the H-2d LCMV nucleoprotein epitope expressed in the recombinant influenza virus. We also found that as many as 58 amino acids could be inserted into the neuraminidase stalk without loss of viral function. These findings demonstrate the potential of influenza virus as a vaccine vector, with the neuraminidase stalk as a repository for foreign epitopes. 相似文献

The use of inactivated influenza virus for the development of vaccines with broad heterosubtypic protection requires selective inactivation techniques that eliminate viral infectivity while preserving structural integrity. Here we tested if a hydrophobic inactivation approach reported for retroviruses could be applied to the influenza virus. By this approach, the transmembrane domains of viral envelope proteins are selectively targeted by the hydrophobic photoactivatable compound 1,5-iodonaphthyl-azide (INA). This probe partitions into the lipid bilayer of the viral envelope and upon far UV irradiation reacts selectively with membrane-embedded domains of proteins and lipids while the protein domains that localize outside the bilayer remain unaffected. INA treatment of influenza virus blocked infection in a dose-dependent manner without disrupting the virion or affecting neuraminidase activity. Moreover, the virus maintained the full activity in inducing pH-dependent lipid mixing, but pH-dependent redistribution of viral envelope proteins into the target cell membrane was completely blocked. These results indicate that INA selectively blocks fusion of the virus with the target cell membrane at the pore formation and expansion step. Using a murine model of influenza virus infection, INA-inactivated influenza virus induced potent anti-influenza virus serum antibody and T-cell responses, similar to live virus immunization, and protected against heterosubtypic challenge. INA treatment of influenza A virus produced a virus that is noninfectious, intact, and fully maintains the functional activity associated with the ectodomains of its two major envelope proteins, neuraminidase and hemagglutinin. When used as a vaccine given intranasally (i.n.), INA-inactivated influenza virus induced immune responses similar to live virus infection. 相似文献

Swiss white mice were given intranasally suspension of influenza A virus (H3N2) isolated at different period of time and replicated in lowered temperatures in 11 days old chicken embryos. The presence of antigen in lung of animals was detected by IF. They were given the virus replicated at 30 degrees C at different rate depending on strain tested. No distinct differences were observed in haemagglutination inhibition antibody level. On the other hand the level of neuraminidase activity inhibiting antibodies level was significantly higher after giving virus replicated at 30 degrees C than after giving the virus replicated at 37 degrees C. In the case of epidemic strains 4-5 fold fold increase of immunogenicity of neuraminidase component was observed and in the remaining strains immunogenicity of neuraminidase increased 1-5-fold only. 相似文献

Live attenuated influenza vaccines (LAIVs) are effective in providing protection against influenza challenge in animal models and in preventing disease in humans. We previously showed that LAIVs elicit a range of immune effectors and that successful induction of pulmonary cellular and humoral immunity in mice requires pulmonary replication of the vaccine virus. An upper respiratory tract immunization (URTI) model was developed in mice to mimic the human situation, in which the vaccine virus does not replicate in the lower respiratory tract, allowing us to assess the protective efficacy of an H5N1 LAIV against highly pathogenic H5N1 virus challenge in the absence of significant pulmonary immunity. Our results show that, after one dose of an H5N1 LAIV, pulmonary influenza-specific lymphocytes are the main contributors to clearance of challenge virus from the lungs and that contributions of influenza-specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) antibodies in serum and splenic CD8(+) T cells were negligible. Complete protection from H5N1 challenge was achieved after two doses of H5N1 LAIV and was associated with maturation of the antibody response. Although passive transfer of sera from mice that received two doses of vaccine prevented lethality in naive recipients following challenge, the mice showed significant weight loss, with high pulmonary titers of the H5N1 virus. These data highlight the importance of mucosal immunity in mediating optimal protection against H5N1 infection. Understanding the requirements for effective induction and establishment of these protective immune effectors in the respiratory tract paves the way for a more rational and effective vaccine approach in the future. 相似文献

H7N9 has caused fatal infections in humans. A safe and effective vaccine is the best way to prevent large-scale outbreaks in the human population. Parainfluenza virus 5 (PIV5), an avirulent paramyxovirus, is a promising vaccine vector. In this work, we generated a recombinant PIV5 expressing the HA gene of H7N9 (PIV5-H7) and tested its efficacy against infection with influenza virus A/Anhui/1/2013 (H7N9) in mice and guinea pigs. PIV5-H7 protected the mice against lethal H7N9 challenge. Interestingly, the protection did not require antibody since PIV5-H7 protected JhD mice that do not produce antibody against lethal H7N9 challenge. Furthermore, transfer of anti-H7 serum did not protect mice against H7N9 challenge. PIV5-H7 generated high HAI titers in guinea pigs, however it did not protect against H7N9 infection or transmission. Intriguingly, immunization of guinea pigs with PIV5-H7 and PIV5 expressing NP of influenza A virus H5N1 (PIV5-NP) conferred protection against H7N9 infection and transmission. Thus, we have obtained a H7N9 vaccine that protected both mice and guinea pigs against lethal H7N9 challenge and infection respectively. 相似文献

In BALB/c mice primed by influenza virus infection to H3 hemagglutinin and N2 neuraminidase, presentation of N2 in association with a heterosubtypic (H7) hemagglutinin results in production of a greater amount of N2 antibody than is found with homologous (H3N2) reimmunization. Titration of primed helper T cell (Th) activity by adoptive transfer of purified T cells to athymic mice given H6N2 vaccine demonstrates a lesser number of N2-specific Th cells in mice subjected to homologous reimmunization. We conclude that Th cells participate in the mediation of intermolecular (intravirionic) antigenic competition between influenza virus hemagglutinin and neuraminidase. 相似文献

Antiserum specific for influenza A(2) neuraminidase was produced by immunization of rabbits with the purified enzyme which had been isolated by electrophoresis from the proteins of a detergent-disrupted A(0)A(2) influenza virus recombinant [X-7 (F1)]. This recombinant contained hemagglutinin of the A(0) subtype and A(2) neuraminidase. Antiserum to the isolated A(2) neuraminidase did not react in any of four serological tests with A(0) or A(2) subtype viruses that lacked the A(2) enzyme. In contrast, the antiserum inhibited the neuraminidase activity only of wild-type and recombinant viruses containing the A(2) enzyme, regardless of the nature of their hemagglutinin proteins. The antiserum caused hemagglutination-inhibition of some, but not all, viruses bearing the A(2) enzyme, and it reduced the plaque size or plaque number of all viruses tested that contained A(2) neuraminidase. In the chick embryo and in cell culture, low dilutions of antiserum reduced the yield of virus. True neutralization of virus in the chick embryo did not occur. We conclude that an antiserum specific for A(2) neuraminidase influenced the yield and release of virus from influenza virus-infected cells. 相似文献

Elderly humans over 65 years old are at great risk to pathogenesis by influenza virus infection. However, although influenza vaccines provide effective protection in healthy young adults, protection of elderly adults is substantially lower even with a good match between the vaccine and the circulating influenza virus. To gain insight of the underlying mechanism for the reduced immunogenicity of influenza vaccines in the aged population, we investigated immunogenicity of influenza virus-like particle vaccines in aged mice, which represent a useful model for studying aging associated impairment in immune responses. Specifically, we investigated the effect of inhibiting regulatory T cells in aged mice on induction of protective immune responses by influenza vaccines. Our results showed that injecting anti-CD25 antibodies could down-regulate CD25 on the surface of regulatory T cells and significantly increase the levels of antibody responses induced by VLP immunization in aged mice. Further, the profiles of antibody responses were also changed towards Th1 type by regulatory T cell blockage in aged mice. Moreover, aged mice that were treated by anti-CD25 antibodies prior to vaccination were more effectively protected against lethal influenza virus challenge. 相似文献

Intramuscular injection of BALB/c mice with a DNA plasmid encoding nucleoprotein (NP) from influenza virus A/PR/8/34 (H1N1) provides cross-strain protection against lethal challenge with influenza virus A/HK/68 (H3N2). CTL specific for the H-2Kd-restricted epitope NP147-155 are present in these mice and are thought to play a role in the protection. To assess the effectiveness of NP DNA immunization in comparison with influenza virus infection in the induction of CTL responses, we monitored the frequency of CTL precursors (CTLp) in mice following i.m. injection with NP DNA or intranasal infection with influenza virus and showed that the CTLp frequency in NP DNA-immunized mice can reach levels found in mice that had been infected with influenza virus. We also measured the CTLp frequency, anti-NP Ab titers, and T cell proliferative responses in mice that were injected with titrated dosages of NP DNA and documented a correlation of the CTLp frequency and the Ab titers, but not proliferative responses, with the injection dose. Furthermore, we observed a positive correlation between the frequency of NP147-155 epitope-specific CTLp and the extent of protective immunity against cross-strain influenza challenge induced by NP DNA injection. Collectively, these results and our early observations from adoptive transfer experiments of in vitro activated lymphocytes from NP DNA-immunized mice suggest a protective function of NP-specific CTLp in mice against cross-strain influenza virus challenge. 相似文献

H7N9 influenza infection in humans would result in severe respiratory illness. Vaccination is the best way to prevent influenza virus. In this paper, we investigated the effect of early protection provided by inactivated whole-virion H7N9 influenza vaccine in a mouse model.Mice were immunized intramuscularly once with different doses of inactivated whole-virion H7N9 influenza vaccine alone or in combination with MF59 adjuvant. Specific IgM and IgG antibody titers in sera of mice were detected by ELISA 3, 5 and 7days after immunization. To evaluate the early protection provided by the vaccine, mice were challenged with lethal dose (40LD50) of homologous virus 3, 5 and 7 days after immunization respectively. The survival rate and body weight change of mice during 21 days after challenge and the residual lung virus titer on 3rd day after challenge were determined. The results demonstrated that mice could obtain effective protection 3 days after immunization with the vaccine at a high dose, and 5–7 days after immunization even at a low dose. Thus early immune responses induced by inactivated whole-virion H7N9 vaccine could provide effective protection. 相似文献

The emergence of severe cases of human influenza A (H7N9) viral infection in China in the spring of 2003 resulted in a global effort to rapidly develop an effective candidate vaccine. In this study, a cold-adapted (ca), live attenuated monovalent reassortant influenza H7N9 virus (Ah01/AA ca) was generated using reverse genetics that contained hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) genes from a 2013 pandemic A H7N9 isolate, A/Anhui/01/2013 virus (Ah01/H7N9); the remaining six backbone genes derived from the cold-adapted influenza H2N2 A/Ann Arbor/6/60 virus (AA virus). Ah01/AA ca virus exhibited temperature sensitivity (ts), ca, and attenuation (att) phenotypes. Intranasal immunization of female BALB/c mice with Ah01/AA ca twice at a 2-week interval induced robust humoral, mucosal, and cell-mediated immune responses in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, the candidate Ah01/AA ca virus was immunogenic and offered partial or complete protection of mice against a lethal challenge by the live 2013 influenza A H7N9 (A/Anhui/01/2013). Protection was demonstrated by the inhibition of viral replication and the attenuation of histopathological changes in the challenged mouse lung. Taken together, these data support the further evaluation of this Ah01/AA ca candidate vaccine in primates. 相似文献

Baculovirus induces an innate immune response and confers protection from lethal influenza virus infection in mice 总被引:21,自引:0,他引:21

A recombinant baculovirus expressing the hemagglutinin gene of the influenza virus, A/PR/8/34 (H1N1), under the control of the chicken beta-actin promoter, was constructed. To determine the induction of protective immunity in vivo, mice were inoculated with the recombinant baculovirus by intramuscular, intradermal, i.p., and intranasal routes and then were challenged with a lethal dose of the influenza virus. Intramuscular or i.p. immunization with the recombinant baculovirus elicited higher titers of antihemagglutinin Ab than intradermal or intranasal administration. However, protection from a lethal challenge of the influenza virus was only achieved by intranasal immunization of the recombinant baculovirus. Surprisingly, sufficient protection from the lethal influenza challenge was also observed in mice inoculated intranasally with a wild-type baculovirus, as evaluated by reductions in the virus titer, inflammatory cytokine production, and pulmonary consolidations. These results indicate that intranasal inoculation with a wild-type baculovirus induces a strong innate immune response, which protects mice from a lethal challenge of influenza virus. 相似文献

Murine TH response to influenza virus: recognition of hemagglutinin, neuraminidase, matrix, and nucleoproteins 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

BALB/c mice were primed with type A influenza virus by footpad injection or by aerosol infection with PR8 [A/PR/8/34-(H1N1)]. Isolated T cells from draining lymph nodes were then tested for their proliferation in the presence of purified viral proteins hemagglutinin, neuraminidase, matrix, and nucleoprotein. Significant responses [( 3H]thymidine incorporation) were seen against each of the four proteins after either priming scheme. When helper T (TH) cell clones were isolated by hybridoma formation from two different strains of mice, responsiveness (interleukin 2 production) towards each protein was against apparent. Of 12 virus-specific T cell hybridomas isolated, four responded to matrix, three to nucleoprotein, one to neuraminidase, three to hemagglutinin, and one cell was of undefined specificity. Each hybridoma was also tested for recognition of the HK virus [A/Hong Kong/1/68-(H3N2)], which differs in subtype from the priming strain. All matrix-specific cells, two nucleoprotein-specific cells, and the cell of undefined specificity were cross-reactive with HK virus. H1-subtype specificity was seen for all hemagglutinin and neuraminidase-specific cells and one of the three nucleoprotein-specific cells. Because many virus-immune TH cells recognize antigenically variable determinants, a significant fraction of TH cell function may be lost after virus evolution. When selecting priming schemes for long-term immunization against influenza, the isolated enhancement of TH cells recognizing conserved determinants on matrix and nucleoprotein may therefore be considered. 相似文献

AbstractThis study reports on the mucosal immunoadjuvant activity of liposomes in an experimental influenza subunit vaccine administered intranasally (i.n.) to mice. Antibody responses induced by the i.n. liposomal vaccine were compared to those induced by an influenza infection or by subcutaneous (s.c.) injection of subunit antigen alone, the conventional route of human flu vaccination. Negatively charged liposomes, but not positively charged or zwitter-ionic liposomes, coadministered i.n. with influenza subunit antigen, significantly stimulated systemic IgG levels and local antibody responses in pulmonary secretions, relative to the responses upon i.n. administration of subunit antigen alone. I.n. immunization with liposome-supplemented subunit antigen as well as s.c. immunization with subunit antigen alone or infection induced high levels of IgG antibodies in serum and pulmonary secretions, with a preferential induction of IgGl upon immunization and IgG2a upon infection. Both i.n. immunization with liposome-supplemented antigen and infection, but not s.c. immunization with subunit antigen alone, induced local secretion of S-IgA. At the same time, both IgA-and IgG-secreting cells appeared in (he lungs and lung-associated lymph nodes, suggestive of local antibody production. In conclusion, the liposomal adjuvant system, combined with a mucosal administration protocol, provides a promising strategy for induction of both systemic and local antibody responses against influenza virus. 相似文献
