An epitope-optimized human H3N2 influenza vaccine induces broadly protective immunity in mice and ferrets

open access: yesnpj Vaccines, 2022
There is a crucial need for an improved H3N2 influenza virus vaccine due to low vaccine efficacy rates and increased morbidity and mortality associated with H3N2-dominated influenza seasons.

Heterosubtypic immunity increases infectious dose required to infect Mallard ducks with Influenza A virus. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
Previous field and experimental studies have demonstrated that heterosubtypic immunity (HSI) is a potential driver of Influenza A virus (IAV) prevalence and subtype diversity in mallards.

Next Generation of Computationally Optimized Broadly Reactive HA Vaccines Elicited Cross-Reactive Immune Responses and Provided Protection against H1N1 Virus Infection

open access: yesVaccines, 2021
Vaccination is the best way to prevent influenza virus infections, but the diversity of antigenically distinct isolates is a persistent challenge for vaccine development.

Formation of influenza virus particles lacking hemagglutinin on the viral envelope [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Virology, 1986
We investigated the intracellular block in the transport of hemagglutinin (HA) and the role of HA in virus particle formation by using temperature-sensitive (ts) mutants (ts134 and ts61S) of influenza virus A/WSN/33. We found that at the nonpermissive temperature (39.5 degrees C), the exit of ts HA from the rough endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi ...

A carboxy-terminal trimerization domain stabilizes conformational epitopes on the stalk domain of soluble recombinant hemagglutinin substrates.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Recently, a new class of broadly neutralizing anti-influenza virus antibodies that target the stalk domain of the viral hemagglutinin was discovered. As such, induction, isolation, characterization, and quantification of these novel antibodies has become

Enhanced immunogenicity, mortality protection, and reduced viral brain invasion by alum adjuvant with an H5N1 split-virion vaccine in the ferret. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
Pre-pandemic development of an inactivated, split-virion avian influenza vaccine is challenged by the lack of pre-existing immunity and the reduced immunogenicity of some H5 hemagglutinins compared to that of seasonal influenza vaccines.

Highly pathogenic H5N1 influenza viruses carry virulence determinants beyond the polybasic hemagglutinin cleavage site. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2010
Highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses (HPAIV) originate from avirulent precursors but differ from all other influenza viruses by the presence of a polybasic cleavage site in their hemagglutinins (HA) of subtype H5 or H7.

The production and development of H7 Influenza virus pseudotypes for the study of humoral responses against avian viruses [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
In recent years, high pathogenicity avian influenza (HPAI) virus, H5N1, low pathogenicity avian influenza (LPAI) virus, H9N2, and both HPAI and LPAI H7 viruses have proved devastating for the affected economies reliant on poultry industry, and have posed

Structural Basis for Influence of Viral Glycans on Ligand Binding by Influenza Hemagglutinin [PDF]

open access: yesBiophysical Journal, 2008
Binding of cell surface glycans by influenza hemagglutinin controls viral attachment and infection of host cells. This binding is a three-way interaction between viral proteins, host glycans, and viral glycans; many structural details of this interaction have been difficult to resolve.

Characterization of the sialic acid binding activity of influenza A viruses using soluble variants of the H7 and H9 hemagglutinins.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Binding of influenza viruses to target cells is mediated by the viral surface protein hemagglutinin. To determine the presence of binding sites for influenza A viruses on cells and tissues, soluble hemagglutinins of the H7 and H9 subtype were generated ...
