Two Live Attenuated Vaccines against Recent Low–and Highly Pathogenic H7N9 Influenza Viruses Are Safe and Immunogenic in Ferrets

Abstract: Influenza H7N9 virus is a potentially pandemic subtype to which most people are immunologically naïve. To be better prepared for the potential occurrence of an H7N9 pandemic, in 2017 the World Health Organization recommended developing candidate vaccine viruses from two new H7N9 viruses, A/Guangdong/17SF003/2016 (A/GD) and A/Hong Kong/125/2017 (A/HK). This report describes the development of live attenuated influenza vaccine (LAIV) candidates against A/GD and A/HK viruses and study of their safety and immunoge… Show more

“…Ten serum specimens collected from ferrets immunized with H3N2 LAIVs [ 45 ] were used as samples positive for influenza H3N2 IgG antibodies. The control group included serum samples from 20 naïve animals collected as part of preclinical trials of H7N9 LAIVs [ 46 ].…”

“…The H7N9 LAIV candidate is a 6:2 gene substitution reassortant, constructed in the Institute of Experimental Medicine (St Petersburg, Russian Federation) by classical reassortment between the human A/Hong Kong/125/2017 (H7N9) wild type virus of avian origin (H7N9 WT) (an A/Hunan/2650/2016-like virus of YRD HA lineage) [ 25 ] and A/Leningrad/134/17/57 (H2N2), an attenuated cold-adapted master donor virus (L17 MDV) in embryonated chicken eggs [ 26 ]. In brief, a vaccine candidate between L17 MDV and H7N9 WT virus was produced in specific pathogen-free embryonated eggs (VALO BioMedia GmbH, Germany) following seven rounds of selective propagation.…”

“…Currently circulating H7N9 viruses belong to two genetic hemagglutinin (HA) lineages—the Yangtze River Delta (YRD) and Pearl River Delta (PRD)—which are antigenically distinct from A/Anhui/1/2013-like viruses. Recent viruses of the YRD lineage reacted poorly with ferret antiserum derived from A/Anhui/1/2013 [ 25 ] and with human serum samples obtained in 2014–2015 from a phase I clinical trial of an A/Anhui/1/2013-based live attenuated influenza vaccine (LAIV) candidate [ 26 ].…”

“…The availability of these vaccines will reduce mortality and morbidity in a pandemic scenario until exactly matching vaccines become accessible. These unique vaccines ideally would produce a simultaneous protection against zoonotic influenza viruses, antigenically drifted seasonal viruses and pandemic IVs [ 347 , 348 , 349 , 350 , 351 , 352 , 353 , 354 , 355 , 356 , 357 , 358 ]. There have been several attempts to create an effective universal influenza vaccination that can trigger a broadly reactive response against antigenically varied viruses.…”
