    Swine influenza viruses (SIV) naturally infect pigs and can be transmitted to humans. In the pig, genetic reassortment to create novel influenza subtypes by mixing avian, human, and swine influenza viruses is possible. An SIV vaccine inducing cross-protective immunity between different subtypes and strains circulating in pigs is highly desirable. Previously, we have shown that an H3N2 SIV (A/swine/Texas/4199-2/98 [TX98]) containing a deleted NS1 gene expressing a truncated NS1 protein of 126 amino acids, NS1{blacktriangleup}126, was attenuated in swine. In this study, 4-week-old pigs were vaccinated with the TX98 NS1{blacktriangleup}126 modified live virus (MLV). Ten days after boosting, pigs were challenged with wild-type homologous H3N2 or heterosubtypic H1N1 SIV and sacrificed 5 days later. The MLV was highly attenuated and completely protected against challenge with the homologous virus. Vaccinated pigs challenged with the heterosubtypic H1N1 virus demonstrated macroscopic lung lesions similar to those of the unvaccinated H1N1 control pigs. Remarkably, vaccinated pigs challenged with the H1N1 SIV had significantly lower microscopic lung lesions and less virus shedding from the respiratory tract than did unvaccinated, H1N1-challenged pigs. All vaccinated pigs developed significant levels of hemagglutination inhibition and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay titers in serum and mucosal immunoglobulin A antibodies against H3N2 SIV antigens. Vaccinated pigs were seronegative for NS1, indicating the potential use of the TX98 NS1 126 MLV as a vaccine to differentiate infected from vaccinated animals.

      Here are the details on targets for commercial product sold by Schering Plough (although they don't give the exact composition of their vaccine)

      RF: In the US, classical H1N1, the new reassortant H1N1, three clusters of H3N2 and H1N2 have been reported in US herds. The H3N2 clusters are Cluster I, which contains the Texas-98 virus, Cluster II, which contains a Colorado-99 virus and Cluster III, which contains an Illinois-99 virus. The H3N2s most often isolated have been from Clusters I and III.

        Here is a paper from 2001, looking at cross reactivity of older vaccines. It indicates that H1N1 is represented by a NJ isolate from 1976 or the Netherlands from 1980

        Swine influenza vaccines were first licensed in Europe
        in the mid-1980s. These vaccines are inactivated whole
        virus or split virus preparations for intramuscular administration.
        They contain one representative of the
        H1N1 and H3N2 subtypes in combination with an oil
        adjuvant. Most vaccines include A
        /Port Chalmers/1/73

        (H3N2) and either the human A
        /New Jersey/8/76
        (H1N1) or the Sw
        /Netherlands/25/80 (H1N1) strain.

        No mention of 1977 from Tennesee.

          This paper suggests that the Schering Plough vaccine targets are similar or identical to the late 1990 isolates described above

          The sequences of the
          NC isolates were compared to that previously determined for
          the vaccine strain and to the sequences published previously
          for A/Swine/TX/4199-2/98 (TX98), A/Swine/NC/35922/98
          (NC98); A/Swine/CO/23619/99 (CO99) and A/Swine/OK/
          18089/99 (OK99) (4,7,9).

            It seems that the interview was removed not long after you posted that, or their server has been down for a few days. All that is left active is this:



            The Pigsite still has some information captured about the vaccine here, but all the links on the right sidebar to the manufacturer are broken.

            Here is some info about the vaccine on the Pigsite:

            "# Features a new variant or ?reassortant? strain of the H1N1 subtype in addition to the classical H1N1 subtype that has been circulating in U.S. hogs for decades.

            # Contains an H3N2 subtype that protects against the Cluster I Texas-like H3N2 subtype, as well as cross protects against the Cluster III variants of H3N2. "


            There are some archived field reports that show how tough the rH1N1 is
            here and here.

            Then here is a roundtable discussion about finding vaccines for what they say has become a 'destablized' swine flu virus since 1998.
            "he basis for the so-called destabilization of swine influenza seems to be
            unique to North America since 1998. With the emergence of the
            reassortant H3N2, it became clear that that virus has very broad ability to
            reassort with other strains of virus co-circulating in herds at the same time
            and, thereby, creating a new virus that may have a different antigenic
            structure; for example, the reassortant H1N1 that?s so variable because of
            many factors and driven by internal genetic components of the virus."
