ABSTRACTThe conventional hemagglutinin (HA)- and neuraminidase (NA)-based influenza vaccines need to be updated most years and are ineffective if the glycoprotein HA of the vaccine strains is a mismatch with that of the epidemic strain. Universal vaccines targeting conserved viral components might provide cross-protection and thus complement and improve conventional vaccines. In this study, we generated DNA plasmids and recombinant vaccinia viruses expressing the conserved proteins nucleoprotein (NP), polymerase basic 1 (PB1), and matrix 1 (M1) from influenza virus strain A/Beijing/30/95 (H3N2). BALB/c mice were immunized intramuscularly with a single vaccine based on NP, PB1, or M1 alone or a combination vaccine based on all three antigens and were then challenged with lethal doses of the heterologous influenza virus strain A/PR/8/34 (H1N1). Vaccines based on NP, PB1, and M1 provided complete or partial protection against challenge with 1.7 50% lethal dose (LD50) of PR8 in mice. Of the three antigens, NP-based vaccines induced protection against 5 LD50and 10 LD50and thus exhibited the greatest protective effect. Universal influenza vaccines based on the combination of NP, PB1, and M1 induced a strong immune response and thus might be an alternative approach to addressing future influenza virus pandemics.

An avian influenza virus strain, A/mallard/Balkhash/6304/2014 (H1N1), was isolated during a wild bird monitoring study in Kazakhstan in 2014. The virus was isolated from a wild mallard duck (Anas platyrhynchos) in eastern Kazakhstan.

An influenza virus strain, A/Almaty/6327/2014 (H1N1), was isolated in Almaty (in southeastern Kazakhstan) during a human population surveillance study in 2014. Here, we present the nearly complete genome sequence of this epidemic strain that was compared to the postpandemic variants of A(H1N1)pdm09.
