GENEDIA Multi Influenza Ag Rapid Test for detection and H1, H3, and H5 subtyping of influenza viruses

BackgroundRapid identification and subtype determination of influenza virus is important in managing infected patients. Rapid influenza diagnostic tests (RIDTs) are widely used in this manner, but most can only detect influenza A and B viruses without subtyping. A new RIDT, GENEDIA Multi Influenza Ag Rapid Test (GENEDIA), was developed for detection of influenza A and B viruses and also subtyping of influenza A to H1, H3, H5 which has not been possible with other RIDTs.ObjectivesAssess the performance of GENEDIA.Study designNasopharyngeal swabs were collected from 274 clinically suspected patients (influenza A/H1N1/2009 (n = 50), influenza A/H3 (n = 50), influenza B (n = 73) and influenza-negative (n = 101)) and analyzed with the real-time RT-PCR, GENEDIA, SD Bioline Influenza Ag, and Alere BinaxNow Influenza A&B Card. Also, 46 fecal specimens (H5N2 (n = 3), H5N3 (n = 3)) of spot-billed duck were analyzed with RT-PCR and GENEDIA.ResultsCompared to real-time RT-PCR, the sensitivities of GENEDIA, SD Bioline Influenza Ag, and Alere BinaxNow Influenza A&B Card were 73.0%, 57.0%, 58.0% for influenza A, respectively, and 68.5%, 65.8%, 57.5% for influenza B, respectively. Specifically, the sensitivity of GENEDIA was 70.0% for influenza A/H1N1/2009 and 76.0% for influenza A/H3. From the avian influenza samples, GENEDIA detected all six H5 subtype without any cross-reactions.ConclusionThe GENEDIA Multi Influenza Ag Rapid Test was sensitive in detecting influenza viruses compared with other commercial RIDTs and also useful for rapid subtype determination of influenza A.     

Enhanced growth of seed viruses for H5N1 influenza vaccines

Seed viruses used to produce inactivated H5N1 influenza vaccines are recombinant viruses with modified avirulent-type hemagglutinin (HA) and intact neuraminidase (NA) genes, both derived from an H5N1 isolate, and all remaining genes from the PR8 strain, which grows well in eggs. However, some reassortants grow suboptimally in eggs, imposing obstacles to timely, cost-efficient vaccine production. Here, we demonstrate that our PR8 strain supports better in ovo growth than the PR8 strain used for the WHO-recommended seed virus, NIBRG-14. Moreover, inclusion of an alternative NA protein further enhanced viral growth in eggs. These findings suggest that our H5N1 vaccine candidates would increase the availability of H5N1 vaccine doses at the onset of a new pandemic.

H5N1 vaccines in humans

The spread of highly pathogenic avian H5N1 influenza viruses since 1997 and their virulence for poultry and humans has raised concerns about their potential to cause an influenza pandemic. Vaccines offer the most viable means to combat a pandemic threat. However, it will be a challenge to produce, distribute and implement a new vaccine if a pandemic spreads rapidly. Therefore, efforts are being undertaken to develop pandemic vaccines that use less antigen and induce cross-protective and long-lasting responses, that can be administered as soon as a pandemic is declared or possibly even before, in order to prime the population and allow for a rapid and protective antibody response. In the last few years, several vaccine manufacturers have developed candidate pandemic and pre-pandemic vaccines, based on reverse genetics and have improved the immunogenicity by formulating these vaccines with different adjuvants. Some of the important and consistent observations from clinical studies with H5N1 vaccines are as follows: two doses of inactivated vaccine are generally necessary to elicit the level of immunity required to meet licensure criteria, less antigen can be used if an oil-in-water adjuvant is included, in general antibody titers decline rapidly but can be boosted with additional doses of vaccine and if high titers of antibody are elicited, cross-reactivity against other clades is observed. Prime-boost strategies elicit a more robust immune response. In this review, we discuss data from clinical trials with a variety of H5N1 influenza vaccines. We also describe studies conducted in animal models to explore the possibility of reassortment between pandemic live attenuated vaccine candidates and seasonal influenza viruses, since this is an important consideration for the use of live vaccines in a pandemic setting.

Isolation of human complement factors C3, C5 and H

An improved method for simultaneous purification of complement factors C3, C5 and H from human plasma has been developed. Using an initial batch separation technique with QAE-Sephadex, followed by chromatography on SP-Sephadex and gel filtration in Sephadex G-200, 600 mg of highly pure C3 can be prepared from 1600 ml of plasma. Simultaneously about 70 mg of highly pure factor H and 30 mg of C5 are obtained by chromatography of post SP-Sephadex material on DEAE-Sephacel. A small amount of C3 in the C5 pool is removed by anti-C3-Sepharose. By maleylation or citraconylation of reduced and alkylated C3, the constitutive polypeptide chains are modified in a way that made them separable by ion exchange chromatography.     

Novel protein microarray for the detection of avian influenza virus antibodies and simultaneous distinction of antibodies against H5 and H7 subtypes

ABSTRACT

Avian influenza virus (AIV) can cause serious zoonotic disease, thereby threatening the poultry industry and human health. An efficient and rapid detection approach is crucial to prevent and control the spread of avian influenza. In this study, a novel protein microarray was developed. Haemagglutinin proteins of H5 and H7 subtypes and nucleoprotein (NP) were purified and spotted onto the initiator-integrated poly-(dimethylsiloxane) as antigens. Monoclonal antibodies with inhibition effect were screened and utilized for the synchronous detection of three avian influenza antibodies in different species. In the protein microarray, the cut-off values were 40%, 50% and 30% inhibition for H5 antibody detection; 50%, 50% and 20% for NP antibody detection; 40%, 50% and 40% for H7 antibody detection in chicken, peacock and duck sera, respectively. The 95 serum samples were detected by microarray, and results were compared with the findings of AIV antibody test enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) or haemagglutination inhibition (HI) test. NP antibody detection in the microarray showed 100% (55/55) agreement ratio in chicken using ELISA. Compared with HI, H5 antibody detection in the microarray showed 100% (95/95) agreement ratio in chicken, peacock and duck, whilst those of H7 displayed 98.18% (54/55) agreement in chicken, 100% (20/20) in peacock and 90% (18/20) in duck. In conclusion, this novel protein microarray is a high-throughput and specific method for the detection of AIV antibodies and simultaneous distinction of antibodies against H5 and H7 subtypes. It can be applied to the serological diagnosis and epidemiological investigation of AIV.
