Protective immunity afforded by inactivated H5N1 (NIBRG-14) vaccine requires antibodies against both hemagglutinin and neuraminidase in mice.
J Infect Dis. 2009 Jun 01; 199(11):1629-37.JI

Abstract

BACKGROUND

Hemagglutination-inhibition (HI) antibody titers correlate with protective immunity to seasonal influenza viruses. However, inactivated H5N1 influenza vaccines from Vietnam 2004 strains afford protection without producing high or even detectable HI antibodies.

METHODS

BALB/c mice were immunized twice (at a 3-week interval) with inactivated whole-virus influenza vaccine produced using reverse genetics, with the internal genes of A/PR/8/34 (a high-yield strain) and the hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) genes of A/Vietnam/1194/04 (H5N1) virus (NIBRG-14) adjuvanted with alum (5 microg of HA). Either HA- or NA-binding antibodies were absorbed from the immune serum. The protective efficacy of these antibodies was determined by injecting the absorbed serum into severe combined immunodeficiency mice, which were then challenged with highly pathogenic H5N1 virus (A/Vietnam/Jp1203/2004; Japanese isolate of A/Vietnam/1203/2004).

RESULTS

The NIBRG-14 vaccine elicited levels of anti-HA antibodies similar to levels elicited by the H1N1 vaccines, as well as levels of anti-NA antibodies higher than those elicited by the H1N1 vaccines. The absorption of either anti-HA or anti-NA antibody from immune serum samples obtained from NIBRG-14-vaccinated mice significantly reduced the protective efficacy of the serum.

CONCLUSIONS

For NIBRG-14 vaccines to confer protection to vaccinated hosts, both anti-HA and anti-NA antibodies are required. This finding implies that the measurement of both antibody levels may be required for accurate evaluation of vaccine efficacy.
