Receptor-binding characteristics of monoclonal antibody-selected antigenic variants of influenza virus.

چکیده
Erythrocytes modified to different extents with periodate were used in hemagglutination assays to investigate the binding properties of antihemagglutinin monoclonal antibody-selected antigenic variants of X-31 influenza virus. The results allowed differentiation of groups of variants and are discussed in relation to the nature of the amino acid substitutions in the variant hemagglutinins and their molecular locations relative to the receptor-binding site.

Preferential selection of receptor-binding variants of influenza virus hemagglutinin by the neutralizing antibody repertoire of transgenic mice expressing a human immunoglobulin mu minigene.
An analysis was made of the neutralizing antibody repertoire, for influenza virus hemagglutinin (HA) of transgenic mice expressing a human immunoglobulin mu (IgH) minigene, by monoclonal antibody (MAb) selection and sequencing of the HA genes of X31 (H3N2 subtype) laboratory variants. Whereas previously reported laboratory variants, selected in ovo with high-affinity murine MAbs of the IgG clas...
متن کاملPredicting Antigenic Variants of Influenza A/H3N2 Viruses
Current inactivated influenza vaccines provide protection when vaccine antigens and circulating viruses share a high degree of similarity in hemagglutinin protein. Five antigenic sites in the hemagglutinin protein have been proposed, and 131 amino acid positions have been identified in the five antigenic sites. In addition, 20, 18, and 32 amino acid positions in the hemagglutinin protein have b...
متن کاملExpression of HA1 antigen of H5N1 influenza virus as a potent candidate for vaccine in bacterial system
The impending influenza virus pandemic requires global vaccination to prevent large-scale mortality and morbidity, but traditional influenza virus vaccine production is too slow for rapid responses. In this study, bacterial system has been developed for expression and purification of properly folded HA1 antigen as a rapid response to emerging pandemic strains. Here, a recombinant H5N1 (A/Indone...
متن کاملHemagglutinin receptor binding avidity drives influenza A virus antigenic drift.
Rapid antigenic evolution in the influenza A virus hemagglutinin precludes effective vaccination with existing vaccines. To understand this phenomenon, we passaged virus in mice immunized with influenza vaccine. Neutralizing antibodies selected mutants with single-amino acid hemagglutinin substitutions that increased virus binding to cell surface glycan receptors. Passaging these high-avidity b...
متن کاملAntigenic drift in influenza A viruses. I. Selection and characterization of antigenic variants of A/PR/8/34 [HON1] influenza virus with monoclonal antibodies
Antigenic variants of A/PR/8/34 [HON1] influenza virus were selected after a single passage of the parent virus in embryonated chicken eggs in the presence of monoclonal antibodies to this virus. The monoclonal antibodies were produced by a hybridoma and were specific for an antigenic determinant on the HA molecule of the parent virus. Seven antigenic variants were analyzed with 95 monoclonal a...
