A Single Immunization with Soluble Recombinant Trimeric Hemagglutinin Protects Chickens against Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza Virus H5N1 2010-05-14 .txt text/plain 5671 290 49 title: A Single Immunization with Soluble Recombinant Trimeric Hemagglutinin Protects Chickens against Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza Virus H5N1 Such HA trimers, expressed either in insect or mammalian cells, were indeed shown to elicit neutralizing antibodies [16] and to partially protect mice against HPAI H5N1 challenge infection [19] . In view of their promising potential we have evaluated recombinant soluble HA trimers in chickens and mice for their ability to induce protective immunity against infection with HPAI H5N1. Subsequently, vaccination with the sH5 3 preparation was shown to provide complete protection against challenge with HPAI H5N1 both in mice and in chickens, in the latter already after a single immunization. In the present study we evaluated the vaccine potential of a recombinant soluble H5 protein (sH5 3 ) to protect chickens and mice against a lethal infection with HPAI H5N1. A pseudotype baculovirusmediated vaccine confers protective immunity against lethal challenge with H5N1 avian influenza virus in mice and chickens ./cache/cord-000208-th0wddvc.txt ./txt/cord-000208-th0wddvc.txt
