Universal influenza virus vaccines: what can we learn from the human immune response following exposure to H7 subtype viruses?

摘要：

Several universal influenza virus vaccine candidates based on eliciting antibodies against the hemagglutinin stalk domain are in development. Typically, these vaccines induce responses that target group 1 or group 2 hemagglutinins with little to no cross-group reactivity and protection. Similarly, the majority of human anti-stalk monoclonal antibodies that have been isolated are directed against group 1 or group 2 hemagglutinins with very few that bind to hemagglutinins of both groups. Here we review what is known about the human humoral immune response to vaccination and infection with H7 subtype influenza viruses on a polyclonal and monoclonal level. It seems that unlike vaccination with H5 hemagglutinin, which induces antibody responses mostly restricted to the group 1 stalk domain, H7 exposure induces both group 2 and cross-group antibody responses. A better understanding of this phenomenon and the underlying mechanisms might help to develop future universal influenza virus vaccine candidates.

characterization and evaluation of mesoporous activated carbons from agricultural waste: Jerusalem artichoke stalk

Lei YU,Chen TU,Yongming LUO

《环境科学与工程前沿（英文）》 2015年第9卷第2期页码 206-215 doi: 10.1007/s11783-014-0631-7

摘要： This work explores the feasibility of Jerusalem artichoke stem (JAS), an agricultural waste, as an alternative precursor for fabrication of mesoporous activated carbon (MAC) via conventional ZnCl activation. The as-prepared JAS-MACs were characterized by thermogravimetric, nitrogen gas adsorption isotherm and high resolution scanning electron microscopy analysis. The interacting effects of chemical dosage, activation temperature and time on the mesoporosity, mesopore volume and carbon yield were investigated, and further optimized by response surface methodology (RSM). The Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area, mesoporosity and mesopore volume of the JAS-MAC prepared under optimum condition were identified to be 1631 m ·g , 90.16% and 1.11 cm ·g , respectively. Compared with commercial activated carbons, this carbon exhibited a comparable monolayer adsorption capacity of 374.5 mg·g for Methylene Blue dye. The findings suggest that RSM could be an effective approach for optimizing the pore structure of fabricated activated carbons.

Recent advances in “universal” influenza virus antibodies: the rise of a hidden trimeric interface in hemagglutinin

Yulu Wang, Dan Hu, Yanling Wu, Tianlei Ying

《医学前沿（英文）》 2020年第14卷第2期页码 149-159 doi: 10.1007/s11684-020-0764-y

摘要： Influenza causes seasonal outbreaks yearly and unpredictable pandemics with high morbidity and mortality rates. Despite significant efforts to address influenza, it remains a major threat to human public health. This issue is partially due to the lack of antiviral drugs with potent antiviral activity and broad reactivity against all influenza virus strains and the rapid emergence of drug-resistant variants. Moreover, designing a universal influenza vaccine that is sufficiently immunogenic to induce universal antibodies is difficult. Some novel epitopes hidden in the hemagglutinin (HA) trimeric interface have been discovered recently, and a number of antibodies targeting these epitopes have been found to be capable of neutralizing a broad range of influenza isolates. These findings may have important implications for the development of universal influenza vaccines and antiviral drugs. In this review, we focused on the antibodies targeting these newly discovered epitopes in the HA domain of the influenza virus to promote the development of universal anti-influenza antibodies or vaccines and extend the discovery to other viruses with similar conformational changes in envelope proteins.

Avian influenza A: an avian influenza virus from low pathogenic to highly pathogenic

William J. Liu, Haixia Xiao, Lianpan Dai, Di Liu, Jianjun Chen, Xiaopeng Qi, Yuhai Bi, Yi Shi, George F. Gao, Yingxia Liu

《医学前沿（英文）》 2021年第15卷第4期页码 507-527 doi: 10.1007/s11684-020-0814-5

摘要： The avian influenza A (H7N9) virus is a zoonotic virus that is closely associated with live poultry markets. It has caused infections in humans in China since 2013. Five waves of the H7N9 influenza epidemic occurred in China between March 2013 and September 2017. H7N9 with low-pathogenicity dominated in the first four waves, whereas highly pathogenic H7N9 influenza emerged in poultry and spread to humans during the fifth wave, causing wide concern. Specialists and officials from China and other countries responded quickly, controlled the epidemic well thus far, and characterized the virus by using new technologies and surveillance tools that were made possible by their preparedness efforts. Here, we review the characteristics of the H7N9 viruses that were identified while controlling the spread of the disease. It was summarized and discussed from the perspectives of molecular epidemiology, clinical features, virulence and pathogenesis, receptor binding, T-cell responses, monoclonal antibody development, vaccine development, and disease burden. These data provide tools for minimizing the future threat of H7N9 and other emerging and re-emerging viruses, such as SARS-CoV-2.

从H1N1血凝素序列提取的沙门氏菌传递的COBRA-HA1抗原对甲型流感亚型产生广谱保护作用 Article

摘要：

A universal vaccine is in high demand to address the uncertainties of antigenic drift and the reduced effectiveness of current influenza vaccines. In this study, a strategy called computationally optimized broadly reactive antigen (COBRA) was used to generate a consensus sequence of the hemagglutinin globular head portion (HA1) of influenza virus samples collected from 1918 to 2021 to trace evolutionary changes and incorporate them into the designed constructs. Constructs carrying different HA1 regions were delivered into eukaryotic cells by Salmonella-mediated bactofection using a Semliki Forest virus RdRp-dependent eukaryotic expression system, pJHL204. Recombinant protein expression was confirmed by Western blot and immunofluorescence assays. Mice immunized with the designed constructs produced a humoral response, with a significant increase in immunoglobulin G (IgG) levels, and a cell-mediated immune response, including a 1.5-fold increase in CD4⁺ and CD8⁺ T cells. Specifically, constructs #1 and #5 increased the production of interferon-γ (IFN-γ) producing CD4⁺ and CD8⁺ T cells, skewing the response toward the T helper type 1 cell (Th1) pathway. Additionally, interleukin-4 (IL-4)-producing T cells were upregulated 4-fold. Protective efficacy was demonstrated, with up to 4-fold higher production of neutralizing antibodies and a hemagglutination inhibition titer > 40 against the selected viral strains. The designed constructs conferred a broadly protective immune response, resulting in a notable reduction in viral titer and minimal inflammation in the lungs of mice challenged with the influenza A/PR8/34, A/Brisbane/59/2007, A/California/07/2009, KBPV VR-92, and NCCP 43021 strains. This discovery revolutionizes influenza vaccine design and delivery; Salmonella-mediated COBRA-HA1 is a highly effective in vivo antigen presentation strategy. This approach can effectively combat seasonal H1N1 influenza strains and potential pandemic outbreaks.
