Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) viruses remain a major threat to both the poultry industry and human public health, and these viruses continue to spread worldwide. In this study, mice were vaccinated with COBRA H2, H5, and H7 hemagglutinin (HA) and two neuraminidase (NA) proteins, N1 and N2. Vaccinated mice were fully protected against lethal challenge with H5N6 influenza virus. Sera collected after vaccination showed cross-reactive IgG antibodies against a panel of wild-type H2, H5, and H7 HA proteins, and N1 and N2 NA proteins. Mice with pre-existing immunity to H1N1 and H3N2 influenza viruses that were subsequently vaccinated with COBRA HA/NA vaccines had enhanced anti-HA stem antibodies compared to vaccinated mice without pre-existing immunity. In addition, sera collected after vaccination had hemagglutinin inhibitory activity against a panel of H2Nx, H5Nx, and H7Nx influenza viruses. These protective antibodies were maintained up for up to 4 months after vaccination.
Keywords: Antibody; Hemagglutinin; Influenza; Longevity; Neuraminidase; Pre-immunity; Pre-pandemic; imprinting.
