ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Swine origin A(H3N2) variant [A(H3N2)v] viruses continue to evolve and remain a public health threat. Recent outbreaks in humans in 2016-2018 were caused by a newly emerged A(H3N2)v cluster 2010.1, which are genetically and antigenically distinct from the previously predominant cluster IV. To address the public health risk, we evaluated the levels of heterologous cross-reactive antibodies to A(H3N2)v cluster 2010.1 viruses induced from an existing cluster IV A(H3N2)v vaccine and several seasonal inactivated influenza vaccines (IIVs) in adults, elderly individuals, and children.METHODS:
Human vaccine sera and ferret antisera were analyzed by hemagglutination inhibition (HI) and neutralization assays against representative A(H3N2)v viruses from clusters IV and 2010.1 and seasonal A(H3N2) viruses.RESULTS:
Ferret antisera detected no or little cross-reactivity between the 2 A(H3N2)v clusters or between A(H3N2)v and seasonal A(H3N2) viruses. In humans, cluster IV A(H3N2)v vaccine induced antibodies cross-reactive to cluster 2010.1 viruses in approximately one-third of the 89 adult and elderly vaccinees. Seasonal IIVs did not induce seroprotective antibodies (≥40) to A(H3N2)v viruses in young children, but induced higher antibodies to A(H3N2)v viruses in cluster 2010.1 than those in cluster IV in adults.CONCLUSIONS:
Cluster IV A(H3N2)v vaccine did not provide sufficient heterologous antibody responses against the new 2010.1 cluster A(H3N2)v viruses. Seasonal IIV could not induce seroprotective antibodies to 2010.1 cluster A(H3N2)v viruses in young children, suggesting that young children are still at high risk to the newly emerged A(H3N2)v viruses. Continued surveillance on A(H3N2)v viruses is critical for risk assessment and pandemic preparedness.Palavras-chave
