Timescales of influenza A/H3N2 antibody dynamics
Human immunity shapes the evolution and impact of novel influenza strains. However, it is challenging to quantify the mechanisms that shape observed immune responses or reliably estimate infection from serology because individuals are infected with multiple strains during their lifetime. Using a Bayesian model of antibody dynamics at different timescales, we explain complex cross-reactive antib...
متن کاملRecognition of influenza H3N2 variant virus by human neutralizing antibodies.
Since 2011, over 300 human cases of infection, especially in exposed children, with the influenza A H3N2 variant (H3N2v) virus that circulates in swine in the US have been reported. The structural and genetic basis for the lack of protection against H3N2v induced by vaccines containing seasonal H3N2 antigens is poorly understood. We isolated 17 human monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) that neutralize...
متن کاملCharacterization of human serum strain-specific antihemagglutinin antibody to A/Port Chalmers/73 (H3N2) influenza virus by radioimmunoprecipitation assays.
We performed radioimmunoprecipitation assays in which iodinated preparations of A/Port Chalmers/73 (A/PC/73) hemagglutinin were used as the test antigens and high concentrations of unlabeled A/Hong Kong/68 viral protein were used to inhibit the binding of cross-reactive antibodies to quantitate strain-specific antibody responses in postvaccination sera. Strain-specific antibodies comprised 8 to...
متن کاملEnzyme mimicry by the antiidiotypic antibody approach.
The concept of "internal image" of antiidiotypic antibodies has provided the basis for eliciting catalytic antibodies. A monoclonal IgM 9A8 that was obtained as an antiidiotype to AE-2 mAb, a known inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase, displayed esterolytic activity. Study of recombinant Fab fragments and separate light and heavy chains of 9A8 confirmed that the antibody variable domain encodes th...
متن کاملInfluenza A (H3N2) Outbreak, Nepal
In July 2004, an outbreak of influenza A (H3N2) was detected at 3 Bhutanese refugee camps in southeastern Nepal. Hemagglutination inhibition showed that approximately 40% of the viruses from this outbreak were antigenically distinct from the A/Wyoming/3/03 vaccine strain. Four amino acid differences were observed in most of the 26 isolates compared with the A/Wyoming/3/2003 vaccine strain. All ...
