Vaccination is an effective way to protect from influenza virus infection. Among the new candidates of influenza vaccines, influenza virus-like particles (VLPs) seem to be promising. Here, we generated 2 types of H5N1 influenza VLPs by co-expressing influenza virus Env (envelope protein) and murine leukemia virus (MLV) Gag-Pol. VLPs generated by co-transfection of pHCMV-wtH5 or pHCMV-mtH5 with pSV-Mo-MLVgagpol and pHCMV-N1 were named as wtH5N1 VLPs or mtH5N1 VLPs. The plasmid of pHCMV-wtH5 encoded the wild-type hemagglutinin (HA) (wtH5) from A/swine/Anhui/ca/2004 (H5N1) with a multibasic cleavage site, while pHCMV-mtH5 encoded the modified mutant-type (mtH5) with a monobasic cleavage site. Influenza virus HA VLPs were characterized and equal amounts of them were used to immunize mice subcutaneously, intraperitoneally, or intramuscularly. The levels of HA-specific IgG1, IFN-γ, and neutralization antibodies were significantly induced in mice immunized with wtH5N1 VLPs or mtH5N1 VLPs via all 3 routes, while HA-specific IgG2a was barely detectable. IL-4 secretion was detected in mice subcutaneously immunized with wtH5N1 VLPs or mtH5N1 VLPs, or intramuscularly immunized with mtH5N1 VLPs. Our results indicated that both H5N1 influenza VLPs could induce specific humoral and cellular immune responses in immunized mice. In conclusion, our study provides helpful information for designing new candidate vaccines against H5N1 influenza viruses.

D007114 Immunization Deliberate stimulation of the host's immune response. ACTIVE IMMUNIZATION involves administration of ANTIGENS or IMMUNOLOGIC ADJUVANTS. PASSIVE IMMUNIZATION involves administration of IMMUNE SERA or LYMPHOCYTES or their extracts (e.g., transfer factor, immune RNA) or transplantation of immunocompetent cell producing tissue (thymus or bone marrow).

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.
