Description

Seasonal influenza A universal Mosaic recombinant antigen, vaccine and application thereof
The application is a divisional application of CN 115894636A (the application date is 2022, 07, 15, 2022108401508 and the invention and creation name are a seasonal influenza A universal Mosaic recombinant antigen and vaccine and application thereof).
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of biological pharmacy, in particular to a seasonal influenza A universal Mosaic recombinant antigen, a vaccine and application thereof.
Background
Influenza Virus (IV), abbreviated as Influenza virus, HAs a large number of subtypes, and HA and NA genes from different sources can be recombined into hundreds of different subtypes of viruses, and a large number of different strains exist in the same subtype, so that the viruses can be transmitted among different hosts. The influenza A virus HA antigen HAs high mutation frequency, and under the immune pressure, the antigen mutation is more frequent, so that the antigen drift and antigen transformation are easy to occur, and the influenza virus can generate immune escape, thereby causing seasonal influenza epidemic and global influenza pandemic.
Vaccination with influenza is the best intervention to prevent influenza, reduce influenza hazard and reduce various complications. Because of the variable variability of influenza viruses, world Health Organization (WHO) predicts and recommends epidemic strains in the southern and northern hemispheres each year, vaccine manufacturers will produce influenza vaccines with this as the vaccine strain, and people also need to vaccinate influenza vaccines each year to match the strains predicted to be epidemic in the current year. If the vaccine is used with strains that do not match those that are prevalent, the protective efficacy can be greatly reduced and result in increased morbidity and mortality of influenza. The development of universal vaccines with a relatively broad spectrum has therefore become a major concern.
Many general influenza vaccine strategies are currently being studied internationally. Viral surface glycoproteins, hemagglutinin (HA) and Neuraminidase (NA) are the most common targets for vaccines, but their cross-protection is limited. Recent studies have focused on the HA stem region, which is more conserved than the HA head region. HA and NA targets rely on induction of antibody responses to provide protection against IAVs. However, the importance of T cell immune responses has often been ignored in the past influenza vaccine development. T cell immune response is a key factor for resisting virus infection, and has important effect on controlling influenza virus and HIV. There is growing evidence that T cell immunity may be critical for better vaccine cross protection, playing an important role in preventing influenza.
At present, influenza vaccines on the market in China are all traditional chick embryo culture vaccines, including inactivated and attenuated vaccines, and are usually trivalent (type A H1N1, type A H3N2 and a type B) or tetravalent (type A H1N1, type A H3N2, type B Yamagata and type B Victoria) vaccines. These vaccines on the one hand only elicit systemic humoral responses and on the other hand have limited protection against emerging strains. Based on the diversity of influenza viruses and frequent mutation of antigens, it is a very ideal choice to develop a universal vaccine that can resist multiple subtypes of influenza viruses.

H1m 7609 88.27% 98.27% 99.61%
H3m 9262 81.82% 96.81% 99.26%
N1m 8590 84.47% 96.16% 98.48%
N2m 9942 84.84% 97.69% 99.73%
