这次疫苗候选毒株还是又传统方法制备出来的,由New York Medical College的病毒学家Doris Bucher制备。与季节性流感不同的是,她不是直接使用PR8,而是用了所谓的NYMC X-157(NYMC as in "New York Medical Center;" it's a hybrid of an H3N2 seasonal virus and the so-called "Puerto Rico strain," A/PR/8/34, that's used to speed the growth of seasonal flu vaccine),当然只是为了避免新h1n1与PR8可能产生的交叉反应。她们获得了四株病毒。
解释:
For the H1N1, we don't want to use the Puerto Rico strain, as it itself is also an H1N1 virus, so you risk running into some cross-reactivity. Having a donor strain from a different flu subtype, which is immunologically more different, just makes the entire antibody-selection process much easier. Four or five years ago, we realized we needed a good donor strain for H1N1 targets, so we used a strain that we called, in honour of our institution, NYMC X-157, a reassortant between the PR/8/34 and an H3N2 strain. X-157 was the H3N2 component in the 2005-06 vaccine. It has six genes from the high-yield Puerto Rico strain, so although it's essentially a high-yield PR/8/34, its surface is largely H3N2. So to the immune system it looks like an H3N2 strain, making it a better donor strain when you are dealing with an H1N1 target virus. And X-157 has shown great ability to reassort with H1N1 targets. |
