Abstract

The hemagglutinin genes (HA1 subunit) from human and animal 2009 pandemic H1N1 virus isolates were expressed with a baculovirus vector. The recombinant HA1 (rHA1) protein-based ELISA was evaluated for detection of specific influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 antibodies in vaccinated human serum samples. The results showed that the rHA1-ELISA consistently discerned between antibodies recognizing the seasonal influenza H1N1 and pdm09 viruses, showing a concordance of 94% as compared to the hemagglutination inhibition (HI) test. This study suggests the utility of rHA1-ELISA in serosurveillance.
