Learning Objectives About Vaccines How do Vaccines Work? Types of Vaccines Herd Immunity The Annual Flu Vaccine About Influenza Virus Influenza Types Influenza Antigens Types of Influenza Virus What is in the Flu vaccine? Summary http://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/vaccine-week-a-brief-history-and-how-vaccines-work-18814542/?no-ist

About Vaccine What is it? What does it do? Why is it important? Preparations of pathogen or parts of them Induces immune system to respond to it (as if it is the real pathogen) and generate memory T- and B-cells What does it do? Prepares the immune system to recognize and destroy a pathogen when exposed to it. Why is it important? Vaccines protect individuals (and communities) from a large number of infectious pathogens by enabling them to rapidly mount a protective immune response upon encounter. Ensure that students have a clear understanding of what vaccines are, how they work and why they are important. Explain this in the context of innate and adaptive immune system discussions that students should have been introduced to (prior to going over this content).

How do Vaccines Work? Vaccines are taken up by macrophages (MF)/dendritic cells which activate the adaptive immune response T-cells are activated B-cells are activated Antibodies are produced Memory T- and B-cells are formed Host is now prepared to mount immune response and protect the individual upon exposure to pathogen Point out to students how the vaccine acts as a pretend infection. The vaccine material usually does not have the potential to cause the disease so it prepares the individual’s immune system to respond to the real infection (if exposed). http://www.nature.com/nri/journal/v10/n11/images/nri2868-f1.jpg

Types of Vaccines Vaccine Type What is it? Challenges Examples Live Attenuated Weakened version of living microbe that can’t cause disease Mutation; Storage Measles, mumps, rubella, polio (Sabin vaccine), yellow fever Inactivated or “killed” Microbes killed with chemicals, heat or radiation Weaker immune response; Need boosters Cholera, flu, hepatitis A, Japanese encephalitis, plague, polio (Salk vaccine), rabies Subunit Include antigens (or epitopes) that best stimulate immune system Identifying specific antigen takes time Hepatitis B, pertussis, pneumonia caused by S. Pneumoniae Toxoid Formalin inactivated toxins used as vaccine Used when main cause of illness is a bacterial toxin Diphtheria, Tetanus Conjugate Specialized subunit vaccine where antigens are linked to polysaccharides Most effective for immature immune system of infants H. Influenzae type b, pneumonia caused by S. Pneumoniae DNA DNA of important Antigens introduced to cell Experimental influenza and herpes as well as HIV Recombinant vector attenuated virus or bacterium (vector) used to introduce microbial DNA to cells HIV, rabies, and measles Various types of vaccines along with some examples of which diseases use that specific type of vaccine material. The teacher may discuss this in the context of recommended common childhood immunizations. http://www.niaid.nih.gov/topics/vaccines/documents/undvacc.pdf http://www.vaccines.gov/more_info/types/

Herd Immunity What is it? Protection requirements Immunized majority allows few unimmunized in community (due to immature/compromised immune systems) to be protected from disease Protection requirements Required percentage of immunized individuals  depends on R0 (how many people 1 sick individual can infect in an unimmunized population) Higher percentages of immunized individuals could stop the infection completely It is important that students recognize that vaccines not only protect them but also all other individuals in the community around them. If there was no immunization different pathogens can make different numbers of people around a sick individual to be infected. That number is called R0 or R naught. http://cid.oxfordjournals.org/content/52/7/911/F1.expansion.html

The Annual inFLUenza Vaccine About Influenza HA and NA What is in the Flu Vaccine? This takes the case of a common immunization and explains why flu shots need to be taken every year

About Influenza Virus Life cycle of influenza virus and targets for therapeutic intervention Schematic diagram of influenza A virus The main antigens in Influenza are Hemagglutinin and Neuraminidase. Hemagglutinin (HA) is a viral surface glycoprotein that recognizes and binds to sialic acid (a special type of sugar) on the surface of target cells, such as the upper respiratory tract cells. Neuraminidase (NA) is also a surface glycoprotein, an enzyme, that removes terminal sialic acid residues from proteins in order to allow newly produced viral particles to be released from a cell. Variations in these proteins (HA and NA) generates different subtypes of the virus, some that only infect humans and some that infect other hosts (e.g. pigs, chicken etc.). Different antibodies are needed to recognize and neutralize these different subtypes. Nature Reviews Microbiology 6, 143-155 (February 2008) Nature Reviews Drug Discovery 6, 967-974 (December 2007)

The Main Influenza Antigens Hemagglutinin (HA) Neuraminidase (NA) Proteins on surface of Influenza virus Binds to host cell surface receptors Enzyme - clips off polysaccharide chains from host cell surface Facilitates new viral particle release HA – hemagglutinin antigen is a trimeric glycoprotein NA- Neuraminidase antigen is a tetrameric enzyme molecule Note the various glycosylations shown in the structures (as ball and stick representations (beyond the ribbons, that represent the protein chains) PDB entry 1ruz (Gamblin et al., 2004) PDB entry 1nn2 (Vargheese and Coleman., 1991)

Types of Influenza Virus Types A and B (related to seasonal epidemics); Type C (mild symptoms) Influenza A – subtypes (H#N#) Based on viral surface proteins hemagglutinin (H) Types H1-H18 neuraminidase (N) Type N1-N11 Different strains seen Influenza B – no types Lineages Yamagata Victoria Different strains may be seen CDC follows internationally accepted naming convention for influenza viruses Type/Geog. Origin/strain #/Year isolated (H#N#) e.g. A/Perth/16/2009 (H3N2) for a virus from human origin While students may not want to memorize the various types of Influenza virus – it is important to note that variations may arise at different levels and that these are tracked in developing suitable vaccinations for seasonal flu. http://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/viruses/types.htm

Why Do the HA Numbers Matter? RBS RBS The green structure is that of H5, the blue is H6 and red is H10. The overall architecture of these proteins are similar – they are initially made of a single polypeptide chain that is cleaved into two (HA1 and HA2) but covalently linked to each other via S-S bonds. The receptor binding site (RBS) is located on HA1 (see marked above as HAS), the Fusion peptide in located in HA2. There are many small differences that affect the binding of these proteins to their receptors - note the minor variations in the structures of these proteins (marked with arrows) in the H6 and H10 structure. Many of these differences prevent neutralizing Antibodies from binding to these antigens, while the virus can bind to host cells and infect them. H6, PDB entry 4wst H10, PDB entry 4wsx H5 structure showing RBS – Receptor Binding site and Fusion peptide Yang et al., 2015, Journal of Virology Velkov et al., 2013, Molecular Immunology

What is in the Flu Vaccine? Nasal Spray Flu Vaccine Intradermal Flu Shot Live Attenuated Vaccine Usually protects against 2 influenza A and 2 influenza B viruses Inactivated virus Vaccine Traditional flu shots are “trivalent” – i.e. protects against 2 influenza A and 1 influenza B virus Also available Quadrivalent flu vaccine – protects against 2 influenza A and 2 influenza B virus Also available as shots: A high-dose trivalent shot, A trivalent shot containing virus grown in cell culture A recombinant trivalent shot that is egg-free. Other vaccines in development Summary of currently available versions of the flu shot and what each of these preparations contain. http://www.cdc.gov/flu/protect/keyfacts.htm

Summary Vaccines prepare individuals to mount a protective immune response against the real pathogen(s) Various types of vaccines are available – in all cases the pathogens or parts of them are modified so that they do not cause infection but do generate an immune response Herd Immunity provides protection to individuals who have immature or weak immune systems, and cannot be vaccinated Due to the variations in the influenza antigens, the flu vaccine needs to be taken annually to prevent serious infection
