    Abstract:

    Objective To explore whether seasonal influenza split vaccine has immune protective effect on H7N9 influenza virus infection in mice. Methods Seasonal influenza split vaccine and PBS were used to immunize mice by intraperitoneal injection. 14 days later, the mice were booster immunized with A/Anhui/(H7N9) virus. Then the mice were challenged with H7N9 influenza virus in a dose of 5 LD50. H7N9 influenza virus was preincubated with mouse serum immunized with vaccine and titered by micro-neutralization and hemagglutination inhibition (HI) assay. The protective effect was judged by survival rate, body weight loss and residue virus titer in the lungs and turbinates 2 and 4 days post inoculation. Results After infection, the body weight of mice in the vaccine and model groups were declined, the survival rate of the vaccine group was 10% and all mice of the model group died. The virus titers of the turbinates in the vaccine group were significantly higher than that in model group. The neutralizing antibodies raised in the sera of all mice vaccinated with seasonal influenza split vaccine did not neutralize H7N9. Conclusion Seasonal influenza split vaccine cannot effectively protect mice against H7N9 influenza virus infection.
