[h=3]Abstract[/h] There is a need for a fast and simple method for vaccine production to keep up with the pace of a rapidly spreading virus in the early phases of the influenza pandemic. The use of whole viruses produced in chicken eggs or recombinant antigens purified from various expression systems has presented considerable challenges, especially with lengthy processing times. Here, we use the killed but metabolically active (KBMA) Escherichia coli (E. coli) to harbor the hemagglutinin (HA) of swine origin influenza A (H1N1) virus (S-OIV) San Diego/01/09 (SD/H1N1-S-OIV). Intranasal vaccination of mice with KBMA E. coli SD/H1N1-S-OIV HA without adding exogenous adjuvants provoked detectable neutralizing antibodies against the virus-induced hemagglutination within three weeks. Boosting vaccination enhanced the titers of neutralizing antibodies, which can decrease viral infectivity in Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells. The antibodies were found to specifically neutralize the SD/H1N1-S-OIV-, but not seasonal influenza viruses (H1N1 and H3N2), -induced hemagglutination. The use of KBMA E. coli as an egg-free system to produce anti-influenza vaccines makes unnecessary the rigorous purification of an antigen prior to immunization, providing an alternative modality to combat influenza virus in future outbreaks.
