Randomized, placebo-controlled studies with 10(3)-10(7) 50% tissue-culture infectious dose (TCID50) of avian-human (ah) and cold-adapted (ca) influenza A/Bethesda/85 (H3N2) reassortant viruses were completed in 106 seronegative young children 6-48 months of age. Although the reassortants differed in six of eight RNA segments, they exhibited similar properties in level of attenuation, infectivity, immunogenicity, and efficacy. The 50% human infectious dose was 10(4.6) TCID50 for ah and 10(4.4) for ca vaccines. Both reassortants were satisfactorily attenuated with restricted replication and were no more reactogenic than placebo. The mean peak titer of virus shed was 10(1.5) (ah) to 10(2.0) (ca) TCID50/ml, and each of 37 isolates tested retained their characteristic vaccine phenotypes. Infection with ah or ca virus conferred immunity to experimental challenge with homologous virus. These findings indicate that both ah and ca influenza A/Bethesda/85 (H3N2) reassortants should be suitable vaccine candidates for use in healthy infants and young children.

D007251 Influenza, Human An acute viral infection in humans involving the respiratory tract. It is marked by inflammation of the NASAL MUCOSA; the PHARYNX; and conjunctiva, and by headache and severe, often generalized, myalgia.

D007252 Influenza Vaccines Vaccines used to prevent infection by viruses in the family ORTHOMYXOVIRIDAE. It includes both killed and attenuated vaccines. The composition of the vaccines is changed each year in response to antigenic shifts and changes in prevalence of influenza virus strains. The flu vaccines may be mono- or multi-valent, which contains one or more ALPHAINFLUENZAVIRUS and BETAINFLUENZAVIRUS strains.

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.

D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.
