Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To under stand influenza A viruses epidemic, antigenicity and genetic characteristics variation between the vaccine and Circulation strains during 2004-2008 year in China.

METHODS: The influenza A viruses (H1N1, H3N2) isolated from 2004-2008 year were under took antigenic and sequence analysis. Influenza A virus antigenicity and genetic characteristics were analyzed thought amino acid variation compassion of HA1 protein of influenza A virus isolates.

RESULTS: The antigenicity of influenza H1N1 subtype viruses isolated from 2004 to 2007 is very similar with vaccine strain A/New Caledonia/20/1999 (HIN1)-like virus. The influenza H1N1 viruses circulated in 2008 year had similar antigenic characteristics with A/Brisben/59/2007 (H1N1) which is component of influenza vaccines for northern hemisphere 2008-2009 year. The influenza H3N2 subtype viruses of 2004-2005 year had antigenic variation comparatively with vaccine strain A/Fujian/411/12002 (H3N2), The antigenicity of 2006-2007 H3N2 viruses and 2008 year's is A/Wiscansin/67/2006(H3N2) and A/ Brisben/10/2006(H3N2) respectively.

CONCLUSION: There is change of influenza A viruses (H1N1, H3N2) antigenic and genetic characteristics during 2004-2008 in China.
