美國研究人員在新一期《實驗醫(yī)學(xué)雜志》上報告說，他們在研究2009年暴發(fā)的甲型H1N1流感時發(fā)現(xiàn)，感染過這種流感的人體內(nèi)會產(chǎn)生抵御其他多種流感病毒的抗體，這一發(fā)現(xiàn)有可能幫助科學(xué)家研制出新的抗流感疫苗。 一個由埃默里大學(xué)醫(yī)學(xué)院和芝加哥大學(xué)的科學(xué)家組成的研究小組對9名志愿者進(jìn)行研究，得出了上述結(jié)論。這9名志愿者多數(shù)是20歲至30多歲的年輕人，都在2009年甲型H1N1流感疫情蔓延期間受到感染。在發(fā)現(xiàn)癥狀之后10天，醫(yī)院對他們進(jìn)行抽血并保留樣本。 在這些志愿者體內(nèi)，研究人員發(fā)現(xiàn)了一種普通流感患者或者注射過普通流感疫苗的人所沒有的免疫反應(yīng)。這種反應(yīng)所產(chǎn)生的抗體，能保護(hù)機(jī)體免受過去10年所發(fā)現(xiàn)的全部季節(jié)性H1N1型病毒的侵害，同時還能抵御1918年“西班牙流感”病毒，以及H5N1型禽流感病毒的感染。 研究人員先從這些志愿者的血液樣本中找到能產(chǎn)生抗體的白細(xì)胞，從中分離出抗體基因，然后利用這些抗體基因在實驗室中培育出86種抗體。研究人員接著對這些抗體進(jìn)行試驗，以確定它們究竟能抵御哪種流感病毒。 研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，有5種抗體具有交叉保護(hù)作用，能抵御上述多種流感病毒和H5N1型禽流感病毒。 在實驗鼠身上使用這些抗體進(jìn)行試驗的結(jié)果顯示，實驗鼠得到全面保護(hù)，可免受致病劑量流感病毒的侵襲。 研究人員指出，新的研究成果表明，如果對免疫系統(tǒng)進(jìn)行正確的刺激，可促使人體產(chǎn)生新的流感抗體，這意味著科學(xué)家今后有可能研制出能有效抵御多種流感病毒的疫苗。 推薦原文出處： The Journal of Experimental Medicine doi: 10.1084/jem.20101352 Broadly cross-reactive antibodies dominate the human B cell response against 2009 pandemic H1N1 influenza virus infection Jens Wrammert1,2, Dimitrios Koutsonanos2, Gui-Mei Li1,2, Srilatha Edupuganti4,5, Jianhua Sui6, Michael Morrissey8, Megan McCausland1,2, Ioanna Skountzou2, Mady Hornig9, W.

Wilson8 Abstract The 2009 pandemic H1N1 influenza pandemic demonstrated the global health threat of reassortant influenza strains. Herein, we report a detailed analysis of plasmablast and monoclonal antibody responses induced by pandemic H1N1 infection in humans. Unlike antibodies elicited by annual influenza vaccinations, most neutralizing antibodies induced by pandemic H1N1 infection were broadly cross-reactive against epitopes in the hemagglutinin (HA) stalk and head domain of multiple influenza strains. The antibodies were from cells that had undergone extensive affinity maturation. Based on these observations, we postulate that the plasmablasts producing these broadly neutralizing antibodies were predominantly derived from activated memory B cells specific for epitopes conserved in several influenza strains. Consequently, most neutralizing antibodies were broadly reactive against divergent H1N1 and H5N1 influenza strains. This suggests that a pan-influenza vaccine may be possible, given the right immunogen. Antibodies generated potently protected and rescued mice from lethal challenge with pandemic H1N1 or antigenically distinct influenza strains, making them excellent therapeutic candidates. |
