Abstract

In this study, we assessed the immunogenicity and safety of one dose (7.5 or 15 μg of hemagglutinin, HA) of a whole virion inactivated pre-pandemic influenza vaccine adjuvanted with aluminum hydroxide in humans. The vaccine strain was made by reverse genetics from the highly pathogenic avian A/chicken/Astana/6/05 (H5N1) clade 2.2 strain isolated from a dead bird in Kazakhstan. The humoral immune response was evaluated after a single vaccination by hemagglutination inhibition (HI) and micro neutralization (MN) assays. The vaccine was safe and immunogenic, inducing seroconversion in 55% of the evaluated patients with a geometric mean titer (GMT) of 17.1 and a geometric mean increase (GMI) of 3.42 in a dose of 7.5 μg in HI test against the vaccine strain. The rate of seroconversion increased up to 70% when the dose of 15 μg was used. A percentage of individuals achieving anti-HA titer ≥1:40 was 52.5% and 57.5% for the 7.5 and 15 μg dose groups, respectively. Similar results were obtained when antibodies were analyzed by an MN test. Substantial cross-neutralization titers (seroconversion in 35% and 52.5% of subjects in both dose groups, respectively) were detected against a heterologous clade 1 strain NIBRG14 (H5N1). Thus, one dose of this whole virion pre-pandemic vaccine adjuvanted with aluminum has the potential to be effective against H5N1 viruses of different clades.

Abstract

A transmission model clarifies the effects of influenza on pneumococcal pneumonia and bridges the gap between individual animal experiments and human epidemiological data (Shrestha et al., this issue).
