Local and systemic immunity to influenza infections in ferrets.
To establish whether immunity to influenza infection in the ferret is local or systemic, two sites of challenge were utilized: the nose and the anatomically isolated tracheal pouch. Infection of either site did not spread to the other site, and challenge of either site resulted in seroconversion by 13 days. Simultaneous challenge of both sites 21 days after the primary infection revealed that p...
متن کاملHeterotypic immunity to influenza in ferrets.
Heterotypic immunity to influenza virus in ferrets operated against heterotypic influenza viruses but not heterologous viruses. Contrary to prior reports, the protection conferred lasted for at least 18 months. This type of immunity limited virus shedding but did not prevent infection. These results suggest that this phenomenon could play a role in determining the severity of infections caused ...
متن کاملEyedrop Vaccination Induced Systemic and Mucosal Immunity against Influenza Virus in Ferrets
We investigated eyedrop vaccination (EDV) in pre-clinical development for immunological protection against influenza and for potential side effects involving ocular inflammation and the central nervous system (CNS). Live attenuated influenza EDV, CA07 (H1N1), PZ-4 (H1N2) and Uruguay (H3N2), induced both systemic and mucosal virus-specific antibody responses in ferrets. In addition, EDV resulted...
متن کاملRelationship between haemagglutination inhibition titre and immunity to influenza in ferrets
Our understanding of the antigenic evolution of the human influenza virus is chiefly derived from experiments in which serum from influenza infected ferrets is tested against panels of virus isolates in the haemagglutination inhibition (HI) assay. The interpretation of these results has been much aided by the development of antigenic mapping techniques, which suppose that the antigenic distance...
متن کاملHLA-KIR Interactions and Immunity to Viral Infections
Host genetic factors play a central role in determining the clinical phenotype of human diseases. Association between two polymorphic loci in human genome, human leukocyte antigen (HLA) and killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIRs), and genetically complex infectious disease, particularly those of viral etiology, have been historically elusive. Hence, defining the influence of genetic di...
