Cross-Protective Capacity of Japanese Encephalitis (JE) Vaccines Against Circulating Heterologous JE Virus Genotypes
نویسندگان
چکیده
Current Japanese encephalitis vaccines are derived from strains of genotype III, yet heterologous genotypes are emerging in endemic areas. Inactivated vaccines given to European travelers were found to elicit protective levels of neutralizing antibodies against heterologous strains of genotypes I-IV.

Persistence of Wild-Type Japanese Encephalitis Virus Strains Cross-Neutralization 5 Years After JE-CV Immunization
Background The live-attenuated Japanese encephalitis (JE) vaccine (JE-CV; IMOJEV) induces a protective response in children. A shift in circulating JE virus strains suggests that a genotype shift phenomenon may occur throughout Southeast Asia. We assessed the neutralization of wild-type (WT) JE virus isolates at distal time points after vaccination. Methods We analyzed serum samples from a su...

BACKGROUND The current Japanese encephalitis (JE) vaccine derived from G3 JE virus (JEV) can induce protective immunity against G1-G4 JEV genotypes. However, protective efficacy against the emerging G5 genotype has not been reported. METHODS/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Using in vitro and in vivo tests, biological phenotype and cross-immunoreactions were compared between G3 JEV and G5 JEV (wild strains...

BACKGROUND During clinical development of the licensed Japanese encephalitis chimeric virus vaccine (JE-CV), the neutralization capacity of vaccine-induced antibodies was assessed against the vaccine virus and against well characterized wild-type (wt) viruses isolated between 1949-1991. We assessed whether JE-CV-induced antibodies can also neutralize more recent wt Japanese encephalitis virus (...

The burden of Japanese encephalitis (JE) is still very high despite better vaccine coverage (Campbell et al., 2011). JE is now endemic in 24 Asian and Oceanian countries with an estimated 67,900 JE cases occurring annually (Campbell et al., 2011) with about 3 billion population is at risk. JE virus belong to the genus Flavivirus under the family Flaviviridae and is classified phylogenetically (...

Flavivirus vaccines based on ChimeriVax technology contain the nonstructural genes of the yellow fever vaccine and the premembrane and envelope genes of heterologous flaviviruses, such as Japanese encephalitis and West Nile viruses. These chimeric vaccines induce both humoral and cell-mediated immunity. Mice were vaccinated with yellow fever, chimeric Japanese encephalitis virus (YF/JE), or chi...
