The antigenic structure of neuraminidases of influenza B viruses isolated in 1940-1984 was studied. Lectin test has first been employed for analysis of influenza B virus neuraminidase. The antigenic composition of neuraminidases of these viruses was shown to be different. The strains isolated in the epidemic of 1983-1984 underwent further drift of the neuraminidase component and represent a heterogeneous group in this respect. The use of monospecific antiserum to purified neuraminidase helped specify antigenic relationships of this protein.
A method for isolation of neuraminidase using pronase has been developed. Purified preparations have been recovered from two influenza B virus strains, B/Mass/3/66 and B/USSR/14/80. Physico-chemical properties of neuraminidases were compared; optimal conditions for the determination of neuraminidase activity of these strains were determined. Strains differences in thermostability, optimal pH, specificity to substrates were established. Neuraminidases, isolated or present in virions, were shown to be identical in enzymatic characteristics but to differ in thermostability.
