Antibody response in humans after administration of whole-virion and split vaccine prepared from two different influenza A/swine viruses.

Previous findings with sera of several different animal species had indicated a close antigenic similarity between the X53 recombinant (possessing both surface antigens of A/Swine/New Jersey/76 virus) and the A/Swine/Ann Arbor/31 (AA) virus (1). Since the latter virus grows much better in chick embryos than the former, we examined the possibility of using the Ann Arbor virus instead of X53 for inactivated vaccine production. The present paper describes our findings in sera of subjects immunized with either whole-virus or split vaccine prepared from AA virus.

Antibody formation in laboratory animals after parenteral application of A/swine influenza virus.

Antigenicity of swine influenza viruses, Ann Arbor/31 and recombinant X-53, was compared on the different animal species. The serological investigations of animals infected with live or immunized with the inactivated virus, demonstrated a close antigenic relationship between the H and N antigens of both viruses. For inactivated vaccine preparation it was recommended, on the basis of our results, to use Ann Arbor virus instead of virus X-53.
