Human influenza pandemics occur when influenza viruses to which the population has little or no immunity emerge and acquire the ability to achieve human-to-human transmission. In April 2009, cases of a novel H1N1 influenza virus in children in the southwestern United States were reported. It was retrospectively shown that these cases represented the spread of this virus from an ongoing outbreak in Mexico. The emergence of the pandemic led to a number of national vaccination programs. Surprisingly, early human clinical trial data have shown that a single dose of nonadjuvanted pandemic influenza A (H1N1) 2009 monovalent inactivated vaccine (pMIV) has led to a seroprotective response in a majority of individuals, despite earlier studies showing a lack of cross-reactivity between seasonal and pandemic H1N1 viruses. Here we show that previous exposure to a contemporary seasonal H1N1 influenza virus and to a lesser degree a seasonal influenza virus trivalent inactivated vaccine is able to prime for a higher antibody response after a subsequent dose of pMIV in ferrets. The more protective response was partially dependent on the presence of CD8(+) cells. Two doses of pMIV were also able to induce a detectable antibody response that provided protection from subsequent challenge. These data show that previous infection with seasonal H1N1 influenza viruses likely explains the requirement for only a single dose of pMIV in adults and that vaccination campaigns with the current pandemic influenza vaccines should reduce viral burden and disease severity in humans.  相似文献

Two hundred fourteen abstracts and 87 full texts regarding pregnant women infected with pandemic influenza A(H1N1) 2009 virus were systematically reviewed by using a PubMed search and assessing pandemic, clinical, laboratory test, vaccine, and control experiences. Both policy and health education were excluded. This review counted the total number of pregnant cases from different countries and analyzed their epidemic features, including trimester distribution, morbidity, hospitalization, intensive care unit admissions, maternal mortality, underlying diseases, complications, high‐risk factors for death, pregnancy outcome, and clinical symptoms compared with the previous pandemic seasonal influenza A/H1N1 as compared with the general population. Early identification and treatment were the most important factors in different countries and areas examined. The vaccine and antiviral drugs that have been the most efficient means to control the novel virus appear to be safe but require more extensive study. In the future, the focus should be placed on understanding vertical transmission and the severe mechanisms. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.  相似文献

Swine influenza (SI) is an acute respiratory disease of pigs, caused by swine influenza virus (SIV). Little is known about the inflammatory response in the lung during acute SI and its correlation with clinical signs or lung pathology. Moreover, until now there has been a limited amount of data available on the relationship between the concentrations of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines in the lungs and the serum concentration of acute-phase proteins (APPs) in SIV-infected pigs. In the present study, the porcine inflammatory and immune responses during acute influenza caused by H1N1 SIV (SwH1N1) were studied. Nine pigs were infected intratracheally, and five served as controls. Antibodies against SIV were measured by haemagglutination inhibition assay, and the influenza-virus-specific T-cell response was measured using a proliferation assay. C-reactive protein (CRP), haptoglobin (Hp), serum amyloid A (SAA), and pig major acute-phase protein (Pig-MAP) the concentrations in serum and concentration of IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, TNF-α and IFN-γ in lung tissues were measured using commercial ELISAs.  相似文献

The hemagglutinin of the 2009 pandemic H1N1 influenza virus is a derivative of and is antigenically related to classical swine but not to seasonal human H1N1 viruses. We compared the A/California/7/2009 (CA/7/09) virus recommended by the WHO as the reference virus for vaccine development, with two classical swine influenza viruses A/swine/Iowa/31 (sw/IA/31) and A/New Jersey/8/1976 (NJ/76) to establish the extent of immunologic cross-reactivity and cross-protection in animal models. Primary infection with 2009 pandemic or NJ/76 viruses elicited antibodies against the CA/7/09 virus and provided complete protection from challenge with this virus in ferrets; the response in mice was variable and conferred partial protection. Although ferrets infected with sw/IA/31 virus developed low titers of cross-neutralizing antibody, they were protected from pulmonary replication of the CA/7/09 virus. The data suggest that prior exposure to antigenically related H1N1 viruses of swine-origin provide some protective immunity against the 2009 pandemic H1N1 virus.  相似文献

The impact of pandemic (H1N1) 2009 influenza in HIV-infected individuals is unknown. Determining the prevalence of pandemic influenza in this at-risk group will guide vaccination programs. After the first pandemic wave, the seroprevalence rate of pandemic influenza in HIV-infected individuals in western Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, was 34.2%, similar to the rate observed in the general population. However, true seroprevalence is more accurately determined by seroconversion, defined as a 4-fold or greater rise between preexposure and postexposure antibody levels, which was 14.6% in the present study. Seroconversion rates were independent of CD4 T-lymphocyte count and HIV plasma load. Neither HIV infection, nor severe immunosuppression, was a significant risk factor for pandemic influenza during the first southern hemisphere pandemic wave.  相似文献

Respiratory epithelial cells are one of main targets for infections caused by influenza viruses. Recently, the induction of proinflammatory cytokines and toll-like receptors (TLRs) in normal human bronchial/tracheal epithelial cells infected with seasonal H1N1, 2009 pandemic H1N1, seasonal H3N2, or highly pathogenic H5N1 influenza virus were studied to understand the pathogenesis and early immune responses. The cells were productively infected with the viruses. Among the inflammatory cytokines tested, interleukin (IL)-8 was predominantly induced in virus-infected cells. Among the chemokines tested, interferon-γ-inducible protein-10 (IP-10) and growth-related oncogene-α (GRO-α) were predominantly induced in virus-infected cells. TLR-5 was predominantly induced in cells infected with seasonal H1N1, pandemic H1N1, or H5N1 influenza virus, and TLR-3 was predominantly induced in cells infected with seasonal H3N2 influenza virus. Taken together, the results suggest that IL-8, IP-10, and GRO-α are predominantly induced in respiratory epithelial cells infected with influenza A viruses, and that TLR-5 and TLR-3 are involved in the stimulation of virus-infected respiratory epithelial cells.  相似文献

Cross‐protection against divergent strains of influenza virus is an objective of various vaccination approaches. B cells cross‐neutralizing several influenza A heterosubtypes have been isolated from cultured human memory B cells (MBCs) and plasmablasts early after influenza vaccination or infection. However, a systematic assessment of the frequency of MBCs and plasmablasts in the blood of healthy individuals is lacking. Here, we show that under resting conditions about 45% of human adults never vaccinated nor exposed to avian A/H5N1 influenza have detectable circulating MBCs cross‐reacting with H5N1. This proportion rises to 63.3% among subjects with a large pool of MBCs specific for seasonal H1N1 (i.e. frequency ≥1% of total IgG MBCs). Moreover, subjects with high baseline frequencies of H1N1‐specific MBCs had an expansion of H5N1‐specific MBCs producing H5‐neutralizing antibodies already after the first dose of an MF59‐adjuvanted H5N1 vaccine. These results suggest that H1N1‐specific MBCs contain a subset of cells cross‐reacting to H5. We propose that a proportion of human adults have a pool of H5/H1 cross‐reactive MBCs that contribute to the rapid rise of the antibody response to divergent influenza strains. This may have implications on vaccination strategies aimed at counteracting future influenza pandemics.  相似文献

The spread and evolution of highly pathogenic influenza A/H5N1 viruses in birds worldwide, and the associated human fatalities, have raised concern about an imminent influenza pandemic. Studies evaluating the safety and immunogenicity of traditional (egg-grown, subvirion and whole virus) vaccines and alternative vaccine approaches (recombinant, live-attenuated and adjuvanted vaccines) have been performed. Results show that, using unadjuvanted subvirion vaccines, at least two vaccine doses containing high dosages of influenza virus hemagglutinin are needed to elicit a titer of antibody that has been associated with protection in vaccinated subjects. High antigen-dosage requirements may be reduced and immunogenicity improved with the use of whole virus vaccines or adjuvants, such as MF59 and GlaxoSmithKline proprietary adjuvant. There is a suggestion that prepandemic priming against drifted H5N1 variants is possible; however, additional data are needed. Newer approaches using live-attenuated, DNA vaccines and conserved epitopes are currently under development.  相似文献

We studied cytokine responses to influenza virus PR8 (H1N1) and Oklahoma/309/06 (OK/06, H3N2) in a novel human lung tissue model. Exposure of the model to influenza virus rapidly activated the mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling (MAPK) pathways ERK, p38 and JNK. In addition, RNase protection assay demonstrated the induction of several cytokine and chemokine mRNAs by virus. This finding was reflected at the translational level as IL-6, MCP-1, MIP-1α/β, IL-8 and IP-10 proteins were induced as determined by ELISA. Immunohistochemistry for IP-10 and MIP-1α revealed that alveolar epithelial cells and macrophages were the source of these two cytokines. Taken together, both PR8 and OK/06 cause similar induction of cytokines in human lung, although OK/06 is less effective at inducing the chemokines MCP-1 and IL-8. This human organ culture model should thus provide a relevant platform to study the biological responses of human lung to influenza virus infection.  相似文献

Swine influenza (SI) is an acute, highly contagious respiratory disease caused by swine influenza A viruses (SwIVs), and it poses a potential global threat to human health. Classical H1N1 (cH1N1) SwIVs are still circulating and remain the predominant subtype in the swine population in China. In this study, a high-growth reassortant virus (GD/PR8) harboring the hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) genes from a novel cH1N1 isolate in China, A/Swine/Guangdong/1/2011 (GD/11) and six internal genes from the high-growth A/Puerto Rico/8/34(PR8) virus was generated by plasmid-based reverse genetics and tested as a candidate seed virus for the preparation of an inactivated vaccine. The protective efficacy of this vaccine was evaluated in mice and pigs challenged with GD/11 virus. Prime and boost inoculation of GD/PR8 vaccine yielded high-titer serum hemagglutination inhibiting (HI) antibodies and IgG antibodies for GD/11 in both mice and pigs. Complete protection of mice and pigs against cH1N1 SIV challenge was observed, with significantly fewer lung lesions and reduced viral shedding in vaccine-inoculated animals compared with unvaccinated control animals. Our data demonstrated that the GD/PR8 may serve as the seed virus for a promising SwIVs vaccine to protect the swine population.  相似文献

BackgroundInfection with pandemic A/H1N1/2009 influenza virus led to hospitalisation of patients not expected to be at risk of severe disease from seasonal influenza infection.ObjectivesWe sought to establish whether (i) DC maturation was compromised in patients experiencing severe pandemic influenza infection, (ii) the pandemic virus differed from seasonal influenza virus in its ability to induce DC maturation and (iii) there was an associated inability to activate memory B cells or induce antibody.Study designPeripheral blood mononuclear (PBMCs) cells were sampled from individuals with confirmed acute pandemic A/H1N1/2009 influenza infection or from healthy vaccinated controls. DCs were differentiated from the PBMC and tested for their ability to mature following stimulation with pandemic virus, seasonal H3N2 influenza virus or LPS. Serum samples from the patients were used to assess seroconversion to influenza and the levels of influenza specific memory B cells in PBMC were also determined.ResultsDCs obtained from all individuals exhibited negligible maturation marker upregulation when exposed to pandemic A/H1N1/2009 virus but showed a strong response to the seasonal H3N2 virus and LPS. Robust levels of memory B cell were obtained in both groups and patients seroconverted to the virus.ConclusionsOverall, the ability of patient's DC to mature in response to different stimuli was no different to that of control subjects DCs. Importantly, panH1N109 virus failed to induce substantial DC maturation in any individual, contrasting with seasonal virus, but this did not result in failure to mount memory B cell and antibody responses to the virus.  相似文献

A type A influenza virus was isolated from a pig in 1979 in Thailand. Hemagglutinin and neuraminidase antigens of this virus were similar to those of human H1N1 virus isolated also in Thailand shortly before. Genetic relatedness between the human and swine viruses was demonstrated by the electrophoretic pattern of RNA on urea-polyacrylamide gel and by oligonucleotide mapping of RNA, suggesting that the swine virus had been derived from human H1N1 virus.  相似文献

Influenza virus is a major respiratory pathogen, and vaccination is the main method of prophylaxis. In 2012, the trivalent live attenuated influenza vaccine (LAIV) was licensed in Europe for use in children. Vaccine‐induced antibodies directed against the main viral surface glycoproteins, haemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) play important roles in limiting virus infection. The objective of this study was to dissect the influenza‐specific antibody responses in children and adults, and T cell responses in children induced after LAIV immunization to the A/H1N1 virus. Blood samples were collected pre‐ and at 28 and 56 days post‐vaccination from 20 children and 20 adults. No increase in micro‐neutralization (MN) antibodies against A/H1N1 was observed after vaccination. A/H1N1 stalk‐specific neutralizing and NA‐inhibiting (NI) antibodies were boosted in children after LAIV. Interferon γ‐producing T cells increased significantly in children, and antibody‐dependent cellular‐mediated cytotoxic (ADCC) cell activity increased slightly in children after vaccination, although this change was not significant. The results indicate that the NI assay is more sensitive to qualitative changes in serum antibodies after LAIV. There was a considerable difference in the immune response in children and adults after vaccination, which may be related to priming and previous influenza history. Our findings warrant further studies for evaluating LAIV vaccination immunogenicity.  相似文献

The hemagglutinin (HA) genes of the influenza A H3N2 subtype viruses isolated from 1968 to 2010 have evolved substantially but their neuraminidase (NA) genes have been relatively less divergent. The H3N2 viruses isolated since 1995 were found to replicate in the lower respiratory tract of ferrets less efficiently than the earlier isolates. To evaluate whether the HA or/and NA or the internal protein gene segments of the H3N2 virus affected viral replication in the respiratory tract of ferrets, recombinant A/California/07/2004 (CA04) (H3N2) virus and its reassortants that contained the same CA04 internal protein gene segments and the HA and/or NA of A/Udorn/309/1972 (UD72) or A/Wuhan/359/1995 (WH95) H3N2 viruses were generated and evaluated for their replication in the respiratory tract of ferrets. All the reassortant viruses replicated efficiently in the upper respiratory tract of ferrets, but their replication in the lower respiratory tract of ferrets varied. In contrast to the UD72-HA reassortant virus that replicated efficiently in the lungs of ferrets, the virus with the WH95-HA or the CA04-HA either replicated modestly or did not replicate in the lungs of ferrets. The reassortants with the WH95-HA and UD72-NA or CA04-NA had the tendency to lose a N-linked glycosylation site at residue 246 in the HA, resulting in viral lung titer of 100-fold higher than the virus with the HA and NA from WH95. The UD72-NA had the highest neuraminidase activity and increased viral replication by up to 100-fold in tissue culture cells during early infection. Thus, our data indicate that both the HA and NA glycoproteins play important roles in viral replication of the H3N2 influenza virus in ferrets.  相似文献

1996年1月太原铁路卫生防疫站从上感患者中分离到3株流感病毒。经血清学鉴定,它们不同于1989和1992年所发现的H1N2亚型毒株,其HA的抗原性类似于A/PR/8/34(H1N1)病毒,而明显不同于当前人群中流行的H1N1亚型毒株。病毒粒不同基因节段迁移率比较表明,它们的1~4基因节段迁移率接近于A/PR/8/34(H1N1)毒株,5~6基因节段迁移率类似于A/武汉/359/95(H3N2)病毒,而7~8两节段既不同于A/PR/8/34(H1N1),又不同于A/武汉/359/95(H3N2)病毒。故可认为它们是一种新重配的H1N2亚型毒株。  相似文献

BackgroundThe novel swine-origin influenza A H1N1 virus (S-OIV) causes the current pandemic. Its tissue tropism and replication in different cell lines are not well understood.ObjectiveCompare the growth characteristics of cell lines infected by S-OIV, seasonal influenza A H1N1 (sH1N1) and avian influenza A H5N1 (H5N1) viruses and the effect of temperature on viral replication.Study designCytopathic effect (CPE), antigen expression by immunofluorescence (IF) and viral load profile by quantitative RT-PCR in 17 cell lines infected by S-OIV, sH1N1 and H5N1 were examined. Comparison of their replication efficiency in chick embryo was performed. The effect of temperature on viral replication in Madin–Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells was determined by TCID50 at 33 °C, 37 °C and 39 °C for 5 consecutive days.ResultsS-OIV replicated in cell lines derived from different tissues or organs and host species with comparable viral load to sH1N1. Among 13 human cell lines tested, Caco-2 has the highest viral load for S-OIV. S-OIV showed a low viral load with no CPE or antigen expression in pig kidney cell PK-15, H5N1 demonstrated the most diverse cell tropism by CPE and antigen expression, and the highest viral replication efficiency in both cell lines and allantoic fluid. All three viruses demonstrated best growth at 37 °C in MDCK cells.ConclusionCell line growth characteristics of S-OIV, sH1N1 and H5N1 appear to correlate clinically and pathologically with involved anatomical sites and severity. Low replication of S-OIV in PK-15 suggests that this virus is more adapted to human than swine.  相似文献

Summary A fluorescent neuraminidase (NA) assay has been developed; 20 samples in five replicates could be analyzed at the same time, allowing us to study the kinetics of the enzyme-substrate interaction. The specificities of six influenza H1N1 virus NAs for BODIPY-labeled 3′SiaLac, 3′SiaLacNAc, SiaLec, SiaLea, 6′SiaLac, and 6′SiaLacNAc were evaluated. The duck virus NA hydrolyzed 6′SiaLac and 6′SiaLacNAc 50 times more slowly than 2–3 isomers. Swine viruses digested SiaLea and 2–6 sialosides 20 times more slowly than 2–3 trisaccharides. For the human viruses, the difference between 2–6 and 2–3 oligosaccharides desialylation efficiency did not exceed five times; notably, the inner core of 2–3 sialosaccharide was discriminated. The results are evidence that influenza virus NAs can distinguish substrate structure at the tri- and tetrasaccharide level.  相似文献
