1 Transmission of 2009 H1N1 Influenza Viruses in Ferrets Terrence Tumpey Immunology and Pathogenesis Branch Influenza Division, CDC EM of CA/04/2009 – CDC/C.S. Goldsmith

2 Animal Models: Influenza Transmission Mice – Poor model Guinea Pigs – Good transmission model, but poor model for influenza pathogenesis Ferrets – Best model for transmission and pathogenesis (Lowen AC, S. Mubareka, J. Steel, P. Palese, PLoS Pathog. 2007 3:1470)

9 What influenza virus genes confer efficient transmission? 1918 H1N1 (transmissible phenotype) Avian H1N1 (non-transmissible ) = Virus genes ? + Efficient Transmission

10 Two 1918 virus genes, HA and PB2, were sufficient to confer virus transmissibility in ferrets when rescued on the genetic background of an avian H1N1 virus. Summary of Findings HA PB2

13 PB2 Ten amino acid differences in PB2 of the avian Dk/NY/96 virus and 1918 virus These changes (positions 108, 114,199, 473, 475, 477, 539, 576, 627, and 702) occur in domains that are suggested to have a variety of functions including mRNA cap-binding and PB1 binding Of particular interest is the presence of a lysine (k) residue at 627 of the 1918 PB2 protein PB2 627K has been suggested to allow more efficient growth at the lower temperatures encountered in the upper airway of mammals (M. Hatta et al., 2007 PLoS Pathog 3)

14 Days post-inoculationDays post-contact A single amino acid substitution (PB2-K627E) in PB2 abolishes transmissibility of the 1918 virus Contact ferrets Virus titer (log 10 EID 50 /mL) Inoculated 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 135135779119 Nasal Wash Titers: 1918 (PB2-K627E)

27 Novel HA mutation (D222G) associated with increased disease severity? HA Amino acid position 222 resides in the RBS of the HA protein and may possibly influence the binding specificity and thus the cellular tropism of the virus. HA (D222G) mutation was found with increased frequency in fatal and severe cases in Norway (Kilander et al. 2010 Eurosurveillance Vol. 15 (9). D222G mutants were detected more frequently in viruses isolated from patients with fatal outcomes and in lung samples (Glinsky Cell Cycle 9 (5) 958-970)
