摘要： Currently, highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H7N9 viruses still pose a potential pandemic threat. Influenza virus-like particle (VLP) is one of the most promising vaccine strategies to complement traditional egg dependent vaccines. Here, we generated a H7N9 VLP vaccine candidate by baculovirus expression system and evaluated its efficacy in chickens and mice. The H7N9 VLP was produced through co-infection of Sf9 insect cells with three recombinant baculoviruses expressing individual HA, NA and M1 gene of the HPAI H7N9 virus A/ chicken/Guangdong/GD15/2016. Intramuscular immunization of the H7N9 VLP elicited robust antibody immune responses and conferred complete clinical protection against lethal H7N9 virus challenge both in chickens and mice. Meanwhile, H7N9 VLP significantly restrained virus shedding and dramatically alleviated pulmonary lesions caused by H7N9 virus infection in birds and mice. Interestingly, chicken antibodies induced by the H7N9 VLP also had a good cross-reactivity with H7N9 field strains isolated in different years. In addition, vaccination with the H7N9 VLP elicited high T cell immunity in mouse lung, evidenced by significantly upregulated expression of IL-2, IL-4 and IFN-gamma. Furthermore, the H7N9 VLP significantly decreased the expression of some key inflammatory cytokines, such as IL6, RANTES and TNF-alpha in mouse lung, which may partially account for its contribution to alleviate lung pathology. Therefore, our study describes the good efficacy of the HA + NA + M1 containing H7N9 VLP both in chicken and mice models, highlighting the potential of VLP-based vaccine as a critical alternative of traditional egg-based vaccine for control of H7N9 influenza virus in both humans and poultry.
