Abstract

Yearly vaccination with the trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (TIV) is recommended since current vaccines induce little cross neutralization to divergent influenza strains. Whether the TIV can induce ADCC responses that can cross-recognize divergent influenza strains is unknown. We immunized 6 influenza-na?ve pigtail macaques twice with the 2011-2012 season TIV and then challenged macaques, along with 12 control macaques, serially with H1N1 and H3N2 viruses. We measured ADCC responses in plasma to a panel of H1 and H3 hemagglutinin (HA) proteins and influenza-specific CD8 T cell (CTL) responses using a sensitive MHC-tetramer reagent. The TIV was weakly immunogenic and, although binding antibodies were detected by ELISA, did not induce detectable influenza-specific ADCC or CTLs responses. The H1N1 challenge elicited robust ADCC to both homologous and heterologous H1 HA proteins but not influenza HA proteins from different subtypes (H2-H7). There was no anamnestic influenza-specific ADCC or CTL response in vaccinated animals. The subsequent H3N2 challenge did not induce or boost ADCC either to H1 HA proteins or divergent H3 proteins but did boost CTL responses. ADCC or CTLs responses are not induced by TIV vaccination in influenza-na?ve macaques. There was a marked difference in the ability of infection compared to vaccination in inducing cross-reactive ADCC and CTL responses. Improved vaccination strategies are needed to induce broad-based ADCC immunity to influenza.
