An in situ neutralization test (NT) including ELISA for the measurement of influenza antigen was developed and evaluated. Two human cell lines, fibroblasts (HS27) cells and salivary gland epithelial duct (HSG) cells, were compared with Madin-Darby Canine Kidney (MDCK) cells. The viral production in the human cell lines was lower than that for MDCK cells, which influenced the results of the assay in the HSG and HS27 cells. However, when lowering the infectious dose, the NT using HS27 cells gave a sensitive and stable assay with low background in the ELISA. The NT titres were very low when using HSG cells compared to MDCK cells. The HS27 NT was used to analyze the humoral response after an influenza A infection in patients from a placebo-controlled zanamivir study. We found no differences in NT titres between patients treated with zanamivir or placebo. The MDCK and HS27 NT gave higher titres and more pronounced titre differences than the gold standard haemagglutinin inhibition (HAI) assay. Compared to the HAI assay, the sensitive NT using HS27 cells also revealed heterologous NT-titre rises after influenza infection in the patients.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D009500 Neutralization Tests The measurement of infection-blocking titer of ANTISERA by testing a series of dilutions for a given virus-antiserum interaction end-point, which is generally the dilution at which tissue cultures inoculated with the serum-virus mixtures demonstrate cytopathology (CPE) or the dilution at which 50% of test animals injected with serum-virus mixtures show infectivity (ID50) or die (LD50). Neutralization Test,Test, Neutralization,Tests, Neutralization
D009980 Influenza A virus The type species of the genus ALPHAINFLUENZAVIRUS that causes influenza and other diseases in humans and animals. Antigenic variation occurs frequently between strains, allowing classification into subtypes and variants. Transmission is usually by aerosol (human and most non-aquatic hosts) or waterborne (ducks). Infected birds shed the virus in their saliva, nasal secretions, and feces.
