[h=3]Abstract[/h] We compared the innate immune response to newly emerged swine origin H3N2 influenza A variant virus containing the M gene from A(H1N1)pdm09 virus (A(H3N2)vpm), with 2010 swine-origin A(H3N2)v and seasonal A(H3N2) viruses. Our results demonstrated that A(H3N2)vpM virus-induced myeloid dendritic cells secreted significantly lower levels of type I interferon (IFN) but produced significantly higher levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines and induced potent inflammasome activation. The reduction in antiviral immunity with increased inflammatory responses upon A(H3N2)vpM virus infection suggest that these viruses have the potential for increased disease severity in susceptible hosts.
