To analyze antigenic drift in human seasonal H1N1 viruses derived from the 2009 pandemic H1N1 virus (pH1N1-like viruses) accounts for the limited effectiveness (around 40%) of vaccination against pH1N1-like viruses during the 2015–2016 season, nasal washes/swabs collected from adult subjects in the Rochester, NY area, were used to sequence and isolate the circulating viruses. The HA and NA proteins from viruses circulating during the 2015–2016 season encoded eighteen and fourteen amino acid differences, respectively, when compared to A/California/04/2009, a strain circulating at the origin of the 2009 pandemic. The circulating strains belonged to subclade 6B.1, defined by HA amino acid substitutions S101N, S179N, and I233T. Hemagglutination-inhibiting (HAI) and HA-specific neutralizing serum antibody (Ab) titers from around 50% of pH1N1-like virus-infected subjects and immune ferrets were 2–4 fold lower for the 2015–2016 circulating strains compared to the vaccine strain. In addition, using a luminex-based mPlex HA assay, the binding of human sera from subjects infected with pH1N1-like viruses to the HA proteins from circulating and vaccine strains was not identical, strongly suggesting antigenic differences in the HA protein. Additionally, NA inhibition (NAI) Ab titers in human sera from pH1N1-like virus-infected subjects increased after the infection and there were measurable antigenic differences between the NA protein of circulating strains and the vaccine strain using both ferret and human antisera. Despite having been vaccinated, infected subjects exhibited low HAI Ab titers against the vaccine and circulating strains. This suggests that poor responses to the H1N1 component of the vaccine as well as antigenic differences in the HA and NA proteins of currently circulating pH1N1-like viruses could be contributing to risk of infection even after vaccination.</p></div></front><back><div1 type="bibliography"><listBibl><biblStruct><analytic><author><name sortKey="Webster, Rg" uniqKey="Webster R">RG

To analyze antigenic drift in human seasonal H1N1 viruses derived from the 2009 pandemic H1N1 virus (pH1N1-like viruses) accounts for the limited effectiveness (around 40%) of vaccination against pH1N1-like viruses during the 2015–2016 season, nasal washes/swabs collected from adult subjects in the Rochester, NY area, were used to sequence and isolate the circulating viruses. The HA and NA proteins from viruses circulating during the 2015–2016 season encoded eighteen and fourteen amino acid differences, respectively, when compared to A/California/04/2009, a strain circulating at the origin of the 2009 pandemic. The circulating strains belonged to subclade 6B.1, defined by HA amino acid substitutions S101N, S179N, and I233T. Hemagglutination-inhibiting (HAI) and HA-specific neutralizing serum antibody (Ab) titers from around 50% of pH1N1-like virus-infected subjects and immune ferrets were 2–4 fold lower for the 2015–2016 circulating strains compared to the vaccine strain. In addition, using a luminex-based mPlex HA assay, the binding of human sera from subjects infected with pH1N1-like viruses to the HA proteins from circulating and vaccine strains was not identical, strongly suggesting antigenic differences in the HA protein. Additionally, NA inhibition (NAI) Ab titers in human sera from pH1N1-like virus-infected subjects increased after the infection and there were measurable antigenic differences between the NA protein of circulating strains and the vaccine strain using both ferret and human antisera. Despite having been vaccinated, infected subjects exhibited low HAI Ab titers against the vaccine and circulating strains. This suggests that poor responses to the H1N1 component of the vaccine as well as antigenic differences in the HA and NA proteins of currently circulating pH1N1-like viruses could be contributing to risk of infection even after vaccination.</p></abstract><funding-group><award-group id="award001"><funding-source><institution-wrap><institution-id institution-id-type="funder-id">http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/100000060</institution-id><institution>National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases</institution></institution-wrap></funding-source><award-id>HHSN272201400005C</award-id><principal-award-recipient><name><surname>Topham</surname><given-names>David J.</given-names></name></principal-award-recipient></award-group><funding-statement>This project has been funded with Federal funds from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, National Institutes of Health, Department of Health and Human Services, under CEIRS contract No. HHSN272201400005C, to DJT.

Influenza A (IAV) and B (IBV) viruses are members of the family <italic>Orthomyxoviridae</italic>, whose entire genome is encoded by 8 single-stranded, negative-sense RNA segments [<xref rid="pone.0188267.ref001" ref-type="bibr">1</xref>]. IAVs are classified by subtype according to the antigenic reactivity and sequences of hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA), the two major virion surface glycoproteins.</p><p>The quaternary structure of the influenza HA protein is a homotrimer, which is “primed” for activation at low pH by proteolytic cleavage of the trimeric HA0 precursor to form two subunits (HA1 and HA2), enabling virus entry into cells and HA-mediated fusion activity [<xref rid="pone.0188267.ref002" ref-type="bibr">2</xref>]. HA1 forms a globular head domain at the membrane-distal tip of the HA protein [<xref rid="pone.0188267.ref003" ref-type="bibr">3</xref>]. At least five distinct antigenic sites have been described in the globular head domain of the protein (designated Sa, Sb, Ca1, Ca2, and Cb, for H1N1 viruses) [<xref rid="pone.0188267.ref004" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>]. The HA protein interacts with <italic>N</italic>-acetylneuraminic (sialic) acid residues of host cell glycoconjugates via the receptor-binding site (RBS), located atop the HA head [<xref rid="pone.0188267.ref005" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>]. The RBS is characterized by four elements: the 190-alpha helix, the 130-loop, the 220-loop, and a hydrogen-bonded network of conserved amino acids at positions 98, 153, 183, and 195 (H3 numbering) [<xref rid="pone.0188267.ref005" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>].

For well over a year, viruses in clade 6, and carrying amino acid substitutions of D114N, S202T (in antigenic site Sb), and S220T (in antigenic site Ca1) in the head domain, and E391K and S468N in the stalk domain compared with A/Cal/07/09, have predominated worldwide, with a number of subclades emerging. Most of the viruses characterized since September 2014 carry HA genes in subclade 6B, which is characterized by additional amino acid substitutions of K180Q (in antigenic site Sa), A273T and K300E in the head domain and E516K in the stalk domain compared with A/Cal/07/09. A number of virus clusters have emerged within clade 6B and two of these have been designated as subclades: viruses in subclade 6B.1 are defined by head amino acid substitutions S101N, S179N (in antigenic site Sa) and I233T, while those in subclade 6B.2 are defined by head amino acid substitutions V169T (in antigenic site Sa) and V190I [<xref rid="pone.0188267.ref008" ref-type="bibr">8</xref>,<xref rid="pone.0188267.ref009" ref-type="bibr">9</xref>].</p><p>The NA protein is a receptor-destroying enzyme that functions as a sialidase, facilitating the release of progeny virions by catalyzing the cleavage of terminal sialic acid residues from cellular and viral proteins [<xref rid="pone.0188267.ref010" ref-type="bibr">10</xref>]. In addition, data suggests that NA protein allows influenza to penetrate the mucus layer secreted in the host respiratory epithelia by cleaving the sialydated glycoproteins present in the mucus [<xref rid="pone.0188267.ref011" ref-type="bibr">11</xref>]. The NA protein quaternary structure is a homotetramer in which each monomeric subunit forms a stalk domain and a head domain, the structure of which is analogous to a six-bladed propeller and upon which is located the active site [<xref rid="pone.0188267.ref012" ref-type="bibr">12</xref>].</p><p>Humans are most commonly infected with IAV subtypes H3N2 or H1N1, or one of two IBV lineages. Accordingly, the seasonal influenza vaccines include 3 or 4 viral strains (H1N1, H3N2, and one or two influenza B viruses) [<xref rid="pone.0188267.ref013" ref-type="bibr">13</xref>]. Antibodies directed against the head of the HA, blocking HA attachment to sialic acid-bearing proteins on the cell surface, are the most abundant of the neutralizing antibodies elicited after vaccination and natural viral infection [<xref rid="pone.0188267.ref014" ref-type="bibr">14</xref>]. However, protective HA stalk- and NA-specific neutralizing antibodies, which respectively inhibit membrane fusion [<xref rid="pone.0188267.ref015" ref-type="bibr">15</xref>] and NA-catalyzed release of progeny virions from cells [<xref rid="pone.0188267.ref016" ref-type="bibr">16</xref>], have been found in humans [<xref rid="pone.0188267.ref016" ref-type="bibr">16</xref>–<xref rid="pone.0188267.ref020" ref-type="bibr">20</xref>].</p><p>The HA and NA proteins incorporate mutations through a process called antigenic drift, decreasing vaccine efficacy [<xref rid="pone.0188267.ref021" ref-type="bibr">21</xref>,<xref rid="pone.0188267.ref022" ref-type="bibr">22</xref>], sometimes by incorporating as little as one point mutation [<xref rid="pone.0188267.ref023" ref-type="bibr">23</xref>]. This has led to the need for yearly vaccinations in an effort to protect the general populace from infection. Despite regularly updating the vaccine strains to better reflect circulating strains, vaccination does not protect 100% against infection [<xref rid="pone.0188267.ref024" ref-type="bibr">24</xref>]. It is routine for the WHO and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to conduct vaccine efficacy studies and surveil circulating strains for antigenic variants. Currently circulating seasonal H1N1 viruses are related to the pandemic H1N1 virus that emerged in 2009 (pH1N1-like) [<xref rid="pone.0188267.ref008" ref-type="bibr">8</xref>,<xref rid="pone.0188267.ref025" ref-type="bibr">25</xref>]. Interestingly, even after 7 years without an update to the vaccine strain and the emergence of several genetic subgroups, recently circulating H1N1 viruses (the majority of which fall into subclade 6B.1, defined by amino acid substitutions S101N, S179N, and I233T [<xref rid="pone.0188267.ref008" ref-type="bibr">8</xref>], have still been considered antigenically similar to the A/California/07/2009 (A/Cal/07/09), an early isolate of the pandemic. This is due to the absence of significant antigenic differences measured in the HA head by Hemagglutination-inhibiting HAI assays using sera from ferrets immunized with A/Cal/07/09 [<xref rid="pone.0188267.ref008" ref-type="bibr">8</xref>,<xref rid="pone.0188267.ref025" ref-type="bibr">25</xref>]. However, most studies of antigenic drift are done at the population level, with few studies of the immune state at the time of infection and antigenicity of the infecting virus from the same individual. Additionally, antigenic differences among influenza viruses are traditionally evaluated by differences between HA proteins, with studies rarely taking into account antigenic differences between the viral NA proteins.</p><p>Despite the apparent antigenic similarity of the vaccine strain and circulating H1N1 strains, a study conducted by the United States Flu Vaccine Effectiveness Network found that 41% of the 781 participants infected with an pH1N1-like IAV during the 2015–16 season had previously been vaccinated (<ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/season/flu-season-2015-2016.htm">https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/season/flu-season-2015-2016.htm</ext-link>). Moreover, previous work from our group showed that people infected with 2010–2011 and 2012–2013 seasonal H3N2 viruses uniformly had lower Ab titers against the virus they were infected with compared to the strain used for vaccination that season, suggesting that antigenic differences from the vaccine contributed to increased risk of infection [<xref rid="pone.0188267.ref026" ref-type="bibr">26</xref>]. We sought to determine whether the same was true for human seasonal pH1N1-like viruses. To this end, we collected nasal washes/swabs as well as serum at the time of illness presentation (day 0) and in convalescence (day 28) from infected adults in the Rochester, NY area. The viruses infecting each individual patient were isolated from nasal washes/swabs, and analyzed for sequence-based and antigenic differences. The HA of the pH1N1-like viruses showed small but measurable antigenic differences to the vaccine strain using ferret and human sera in HAI, microneutralization (MN) and m-plex HA assays. Additionally, infected subjects exhibited low HAI Ab titers against the vaccine strain, despite being vaccinated, and the titers increased after infection, in the three assays. In addition, we did measure antigenic differences between the NA of the pH1N1-like viruses and the vaccine strain. This suggests that poor responses to the H1N1 component of the vaccine, and differences in antigenicity in the HA and NA proteins of the circulating pH1N1-like viruses could be contributing to risk of infection even after vaccination. Moreover, the mPlex-Flu HA assay suggests immune adaptation to the infecting virus after pH1N1 infection (day 28 sera) and Original Antigenic Sin (OAS)-type responses in most of the subjects using the sera collected during the illness visit (day 0).</p></sec><sec sec-type="materials|methods" id="sec002"><title>Materials and methods</title><sec id="sec003"><title>Study design and human subjects</title><p>Human patients were enrolled as part of an acute influenza surveillance protocol, in which patients presenting influenza-like symptoms were asked to visit the University of Rochester Vaccine Research Unit for sampling by nasal wash and nasopharyngeal swab (combined, nasal wash/swab).

In most of the subjects, there was an slight increase in Ab binding to other group 1 HAs (H2, H5, and H6), consistent with production of Abs specific for the conserved stalk (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone.0188267.g007">Fig 7A and 7B</xref>), as it has been shown in other studies demonstrating an anti-HA stalk Ab response following influenza infection in humans [<xref rid="pone.0188267.ref017" ref-type="bibr">17</xref>,<xref rid="pone.0188267.ref065" ref-type="bibr">65</xref>,<xref rid="pone.0188267.ref066" ref-type="bibr">66</xref>]. Ab binding to the group 2 HAs H3 and H7 changed very little or nothing from days 0 to 28 (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone.0188267.g007">Fig 7A and 7B</xref>), indicating that pH1N1 infection generates little anti-stalk Ab that cross-reacts between HA groups, and likely reflecting that the HA stalk domain differs significantly between the two groups of HA proteins [<xref rid="pone.0188267.ref067" ref-type="bibr">67</xref>].</p><p>Three subjects had relatively high day 0 Ab levels against H1s of older H1N1 viruses that were consistent with OAS-type patterns: subjects 010 (b. 1963) and 018 (b. 1973) had high day 0 titers against H1 USSR77, and subject 012 (b. 1991) had high titers against H1 Tex91 (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone.0188267.g007">Fig 7A</xref>). In most subjects, H1N1 infection (day 28 sera) increased day 0 Ab levels against older H1s and maintained the day 0 binding profiles, consistent with production of Abs that cross-reacted with H1 variants. The magnitude of these increases was not accounted for by increased levels of stalk-specific Abs (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone.0188267.g007">Fig 7B</xref>), indicating that the cross-reactive response was directed at HA head epitopes. Notably, the most marked increase in HA-binding Ab using sera collected at day 28 was against the H1s of A/Cal/04/09 and A/Michigan/45/2015 (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone.0188267.g007">Fig 7B</xref>), indicating that OAS-type responses were not at the expense of Ab adaptation to the infecting virus. OAS-type patterns of H3-binding Abs on day 0 were evident in most subjects, but these levels remained largely unchanged after H1N1 infection. For example, using sera from day 0, we found that patient 010 (b. 1963) preferentially recognized proteins from H3N2 viruses circulating in 1968 (HK68), 1973 (PC73) and 1982 (Phi82). Patients 018, 009 and 022 (b. 1973, 1976, and 1981 respectively) preferentially recognized the H3 proteins from 1981 and 1982 strains. Patients 001 and 005 (b.1989 and 1992, respectively) recognized best the H3 protein from A/Panama/99 than the H3 proteins circulating before 1992 and after 1999, likely reflecting a first exposure to a similar A/Pan99 strain (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone.0188267.g007">Fig 7A</xref>).</p></sec><sec id="sec024"><title>Mutations in the NA protein encoded by circulating viruses contribute to the evasion of NA-binding antibodies</title><p>Vaccination and infection induce NA-specific protective antibodies [<xref rid="pone.0188267.ref016" ref-type="bibr">16</xref>,<xref rid="pone.0188267.ref020" ref-type="bibr">20</xref>].

Therefore, in order to analyze NAI Ab titers, we performed enzyme-linked lectin assays (ELLAs) with H5-pseudotyped sciIAVs expressing the NA protein encoded by A/Cal/04/09 or by the circulating strain isolated from patient 001, which comprised the mutations common to the NA of pH1N1-like strains isolated worldwide during the 2015–2016 flu season, and the HA protein from a H5 virus (A/Indonesia/5/2005).

NAI Ab titers in human sera specific to the vaccine strain were also significantly higher (with a 4-fold average difference) than NAI Ab titers specific to the circulating strain at day 0 and at day 28 in all 14 patients analyzed (<italic>P</italic><0.0001). Furthermore, an 8-fold difference in strain-specific Ab titers was observed using ferret serum (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone.0188267.g008">Fig 8B</xref>). These results indicate that at least one of the mutations present in the NA protein of circulating strains contribute to the evasion of NA-Ab binding.</p></sec></sec><sec sec-type="conclusions" id="sec025"><title>Discussion</title><p>To analyze whether antigenic variation could account for the low effectiveness (around 40%) of the flu vaccine during the 2015–2016 season (<ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/season/flu-season-2015-2016.htm">https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/season/flu-season-2015-2016.htm</ext-link>), we characterized the HA and NA proteins of pH1N1-like IAVs and investigated the antigenic drift of strains circulating during the 2015–2016 season. Using samples collected in Rochester, NY, we found 18 and 14 mutations in the HA (<xref ref-type="table" rid="pone.0188267.t001">Table 1</xref> and <xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone.0188267.g001">Fig 1A and 1B</xref>) and NA (<xref ref-type="table" rid="pone.0188267.t002">Table 2</xref> and <xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone.0188267.g001">Fig 1C and 1D</xref>) proteins, respectively, which were representative of those found in the HA or NA of viruses currently circulating worldwide (<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="pone.0188267.s003">S2</xref> and <xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="pone.0188267.s004">S3</xref> Tables, respectively). These mutations were gradually incorporated by the pH1N1-like virus population over the past seven seasons (Figs <xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone.0188267.g003">3</xref> and <xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone.0188267.g004">4</xref>), and remained once incorporated (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone.0188267.g005">Fig 5</xref>). Additionally, these mutations are present in the HA and NA proteins of the majority of pH1N1-like strains isolated during the 2016–2017 season (<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="pone.0188267.s005">S4 Table</xref>), further suggesting the stability of these mutations.</p><p>dN/dS values >1 represent amino acid positions under positive selective pressure, whereas dN/dS values <1 represent amino acid positions under negative selective pressure [<xref rid="pone.0188267.ref041" ref-type="bibr">41</xref>,<xref rid="pone.0188267.ref055" ref-type="bibr">55</xref>,<xref rid="pone.0188267.ref057" ref-type="bibr">57</xref>,<xref rid="pone.0188267.ref058" ref-type="bibr">58</xref>]. Twelve out of 18 and seven out of 14 mutations in the HA and NA proteins found in viruses circulating during the 2015–2016 season, respectively, were at codons under positive selective pressure, suggesting that these are adaptive mutations (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone.0188267.g002">Fig 2</xref>). Notably, not every mutation in either the HA or the NA was positively selected. Moreover, not all of the mutations in antigenic sites were subject to diversifying (poisitve) selection. That there are stable mutations present in the entire virus population located at sites subject to purifying selection could indicate that either only the substitution of certain amino acids can be tolerated at that location (due to protein functionality), or that the mutation is only beneficial under certain circumstances (i.e. necessary compensatory mutations and immune pressure).</p><p>Surprisingly, two of the mutations in the HA protein (positions 179 and 468) were predicted most likely to mutate in future pH1N1-like strains in our previous work forecasting the trajectory of pH1N1 evolution [<xref rid="pone.0188267.ref058" ref-type="bibr">58</xref>]. While the amino acids at the other 14 sites predicted to mutate have not changed, three of the mutations in the HA of 2015–2016 isolates (positions 180, 200, and 202) were located in the same epitopes (Sa and Sb) as three of the 14 predicted sites. While potentially useful for determining likely sites of mutations and epitopes important for protective immunity in humans, the comparison of predicted to observed sites of mutations in the 2015–2016 pH1N1-like isolates serves as a reminder that yet undefined factors contribute to selective pressures on viral proteins, and of the unpredictability of influenza viruses.</p><p>Traditionally, antigenic drift has been measured primarily with HAI assays using antisera from ferrets recovering from infection with vaccine strains [<xref rid="pone.0188267.ref070" ref-type="bibr">70</xref>]. However, it has been shown that after influenza virus exposure, human and ferret antisera contain antibodies that differ in the antigenic sites recognized [<xref rid="pone.0188267.ref013" ref-type="bibr">13</xref>,<xref rid="pone.0188267.ref071" ref-type="bibr">71</xref>]. In addition, immune variability exists also among different subjects due to different exposure/vaccination histories, and to the notion that the first antigenic variant encountered early in life conditions the immunity induced after infection or vaccination with seasonal strains (concept known as OAS, reviewed in [<xref rid="pone.0188267.ref064" ref-type="bibr">64</xref>]). To account for differences between ferret and human antisera and assess potential protective antibodies present in the human population in a more relevant manner, we have measured antigenic differences using both human sera and ferret antisera (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone.0188267.g006">Fig 6</xref>). In the HAI and MN assays performed using human sera, Ab titers to the circulating strains were lower than titers to the vaccine strain in some subjects (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone.0188267.g006">Fig 6A and 6C</xref>). Furthermore, in an mPlex HA assay, the binding of human sera to the HA protein from A/Michigan/45/2015 strain (identical in amino acid sequence to the HA from the virus isolated from patient 022) and to the vaccine strain HA proteins was not identical (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone.0188267.g007">Fig 7</xref>), suggesting that the mutations selected in the currently circulating viruses contribute to limited antigenic differences between the two strains. In fact, it was shown that a particular mutation (K180Q), present in the HA of isolates from the 2014–15 season as well as our 2015–16 isolates, facilitates virus escape from immune responses; however, it has no significant effect on the antigenicity of the protein measured using ferret sera [<xref rid="pone.0188267.ref023" ref-type="bibr">23</xref>,<xref rid="pone.0188267.ref072" ref-type="bibr">72</xref>]. These data indicate that the currently circulating pH1N1-like strains are not antigenically identical to the vaccine strain and reinforces the idea that using ferret sera could be misleading in some instances due to differences in the Ab repertoire among humans and ferrets [<xref rid="pone.0188267.ref013" ref-type="bibr">13</xref>,<xref rid="pone.0188267.ref071" ref-type="bibr">71</xref>].</p><p>The WHO has announced that the H1N1 strain component of the flu vaccine will be updated this coming season (2017–2018) from A/Cal/07/09 to a more recently isolated pH1N1-like strain, A/Michigan/45/2015 [<xref rid="pone.0188267.ref073" ref-type="bibr">73</xref>]. Remarkably, the HA and NA proteins encoded by this strain contain all of the mutations found in the majority of 2015–16 isolates described above, reinforcing the relevance of this work. It is important to note that for these assays, we used A/Cal/04/09 as the reference strain.</p><p>The majority of protective antibodies induced by vaccination or infection with influenza virus are specific to the HA protein [<xref rid="pone.0188267.ref061" ref-type="bibr">61</xref>,<xref rid="pone.0188267.ref074" ref-type="bibr">74</xref>]. As a result, most studies focus mainly on the antigenicity of the HA protein. However, protective antibodies specific to the NA protein are also elicited in animal models and humans [<xref rid="pone.0188267.ref016" ref-type="bibr">16</xref>,<xref rid="pone.0188267.ref020" ref-type="bibr">20</xref>,<xref rid="pone.0188267.ref075" ref-type="bibr">75</xref>,<xref rid="pone.0188267.ref076" ref-type="bibr">76</xref>], and antigenic drift in the NA has been reported to occur [<xref rid="pone.0188267.ref043" ref-type="bibr">43</xref>,<xref rid="pone.0188267.ref044" ref-type="bibr">44</xref>]. There were 14 mutations in the NA protein encoded by pH1N1-like viruses circulating during the 2015–16 season when compared to the vaccine strain, 4 of which were located in previously identified antigenic sites (<xref ref-type="table" rid="pone.0188267.t002">Table 2</xref>) [<xref rid="pone.0188267.ref051" ref-type="bibr">51</xref>]. NAI Ab titers were lower for the circulating strain than for the vaccine strain, strongly suggesting that there is antigenic variability in the NA protein expressed by currently circulating pH1N1-like viruses–a factor which could be decreasing the efficacy of the vaccine (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone.0188267.g008">Fig 8</xref>). These antigenic differences could be due to the mutations in defined Ab binding sites (N200S, N248D, N369K, and K432E) [<xref rid="pone.0188267.ref051" ref-type="bibr">51</xref>]. Alternatively, it is very likely that because the antigenicity of the NA protein is not as well characterized, the other mutations may also affect Ab binding.</p><p>It has been shown that glycosylation on the HA head can modulate HA–receptor binding affinity [<xref rid="pone.0188267.ref077" ref-type="bibr">77</xref>,<xref rid="pone.0188267.ref078" ref-type="bibr">78</xref>], enabling some influenza viruses to escape Ab-mediated neutralization [<xref rid="pone.0188267.ref079" ref-type="bibr">79</xref>]. It has also been suggested that modulation of the HA/NA balance [<xref rid="pone.0188267.ref080" ref-type="bibr">80</xref>,<xref rid="pone.0188267.ref081" ref-type="bibr">81</xref>] in the event of lower HA–receptor binding affinity can occur through acquisition of compensatory mutations that decrease NA activity [<xref rid="pone.0188267.ref082" ref-type="bibr">82</xref>]. Interestingly, mutation S179N, found in the HA protein of viruses circulating during the 2015–16 season, is located on top of the HA head in the Sa antigenic site and incorporates an additional N-linked glycosylation site. In addition, the mutations N44S and N386K respectively incorporate and abrogate N-linked glycosylation sites in the NA. If glycosylated, the additional glycan at these sites on the HA and NA proteins could contribute to the evasion of the Ab-mediated immune response [<xref rid="pone.0188267.ref083" ref-type="bibr">83</xref>].</p><p>The HA stalk domain is considered relatively conserved, however genetic and antigenic differences can be detected [<xref rid="pone.0188267.ref059" ref-type="bibr">59</xref>,<xref rid="pone.0188267.ref084" ref-type="bibr">84</xref>]. Interestingly, 7 out of 18 mutations found in the pH1N1-like virus HA protein, were localized to the stalk domain. During the pandemic phase, mutations primarily accumulated in the polymerase genes and in the HA stalk domain [<xref rid="pone.0188267.ref059" ref-type="bibr">59</xref>]. Interestingly, mutations in the HA stalk domain are associated with protein stability and virus transmission [<xref rid="pone.0188267.ref059" ref-type="bibr">59</xref>], and could be influenced by immune pressure. Recently, we showed that passaging A/Cal/04/09 in the presence of immune sera or mAb specific for the stalk results in antigenic mutations [<xref rid="pone.0188267.ref084" ref-type="bibr">84</xref>]. Interestingly, we observed some mutations were similar or in adjacent positions in the circulating as well as the experimentally derived mutants. While not at exactly the same position, the E391K mutation in the circulating viruses is close to the A388V mutation we and other described after growing the virus in the presence of 6F12 mAb [<xref rid="pone.0188267.ref084" ref-type="bibr">84</xref>,<xref rid="pone.0188267.ref085" ref-type="bibr">85</xref>], and may be part of the same epitope. Similarly, there was a V466I mutation in the in vitro derived antigenic mutants [<xref rid="pone.0188267.ref084" ref-type="bibr">84</xref>], which is proximal to the S468N and N472T mutations found in currently circulating strains. Together these observations are consistent with the idea that some of the mutations we observed in the HA stalk of the circulating viruses may be in antigenic sites under immune pressure. Boosting of stalk-specific antibodies by pH1N1-like vaccination or infection, as shown in previous studies [<xref rid="pone.0188267.ref086" ref-type="bibr">86</xref>,<xref rid="pone.0188267.ref087" ref-type="bibr">87</xref>] and in our mPlex HA assays using human sera after infection (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone.0188267.g007">Fig 7</xref>), may increase immune pressure on pH1N1-like viruses. While the effect of the mutations selected in the HA stalk region on Ab binding remains to be determined, at least two of the mutations found (positions 338 and 391) are close to the fusion domain (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone.0188267.g001">Fig 1A</xref>), likely modulating Ab-mediated inhibition of membrane fusion and subsequent virus neutralization [<xref rid="pone.0188267.ref014" ref-type="bibr">14</xref>]. Interestingly, an amino acid substitution at position 391 in H3N2 viruses led to decreased neutralization mediated by stalk-binding antibodies [<xref rid="pone.0188267.ref088" ref-type="bibr">88</xref>].</p><p>In conclusion, we have shown data suggesting that the mutations present in the HA and NA proteins of 2015–2016 season isolates in Rochester (NY) have accumulated in a non-random, directional manner. The HA of pH1N1-like viruses showed limited but measurable antigenic differences to the vaccine strain. In addition, there were demonstrable antigenic differences between the NA of the pH1N1-like viruses and the vaccine strain. Additionally, infected subjects exhibited low HAI serum Ab titers against the vaccine strain, despite being vaccinated. This suggests that poor responses to the H1N1 component of the vaccine as well as antigenic differences in the HA and NA proteins of the circulating pH1N1-like viruses could be contributing to risk of infection even after vaccination. These results are yet another reminder of why we must continue surveillance efforts to better understanding the different mechanisms employed by influenza viruses in evading the Ab-mediated immune response.</p></sec><sec sec-type="supplementary-material" id="sec026"><title>Supporting information</title><supplementary-material content-type="local-data" id="pone.0188267.s001"><label>S1 Fig</label><caption><title>Sequence-based analysis of the HA protein used in the mPlex HA assay.</title><p>(A) Sequence-based analysis of the HA subtypes.
