ph-dependent hydrophobicity profile of hemagglutinin of influenza virus and its possible relevance in virus fusion.

The hydropathy profile of hemagglutinin (HA) subunits HA1 and HA2 of influenza virus X31 and A/PR 8/34 is analyzed at different pH. At neutral pH (7.4) pronounced hydrophobic sequences of HA correspond to the N-terminus and the transmembrane spanning sequence of HA2. At pH 5.0 where influenza virus is known to fuse with biological membranes several hydrophobic sequences in the ectodomain exist which are comparable in both the hydrophobicity and length of the N-terminus of HA2. It is suggested that these hydrophobic stretches are important for the fusion complex, in addition to the N-terminal site of HA2.

Subclass distribution and molecular form of immunoglobulin A hemagglutinin antibodies in sera and nasal secretions after experimental secondary infection with influenza A virus in humans.

Serum and nasal wash specimens from 13 human volunteers undergoing experimental secondary infection with influenza A/Peking/2/79 (H3N2) wild-type virus were examined for the molecular form and subclass distribution of immunoglobulin A (IgA) antibodies to the viral hemagglutinin (HA). Nasal IgA antibodies were polymeric and did not bind radiolabeled secretory component, indicating that they were secretory IgA antibodies. Both IgA1 and IgA2 antibodies were detected; however, IgA1 accounted for most of the rise in IgA anti-HA levels seen after infection. In serum virtually all of the IgA HA antibodies were of the IgA1 subclass. Furthermore, the serum antibodies were predominantly polymeric and were capable of binding radiolabeled secretory component. These results suggested that the serum IgA antibodies to HA were of mucosal origin and that influenza A virus HA preferentially stimulates an IgA1 response.
