Abstract
The main objective of the study was to evaluate neuraminidase inhibiting (NI) antibodies against A/H1N1pdm09 influenza viruses in the community as a whole and after infection. We evaluated NI serum antibodies against A/California/07/09(H1N1)pdm and A/South Africa/3626/2013(H1N1)pdm in 134 blood donors of different ages using enzyme-linked lectin assay and in 15 paired sera from convalescents with laboratory confirmed influenza. The neuraminidase (NA) proteins of both A/H1N1pdm09 viruses had minimal genetic divergence, but demonstrated different enzymatic and antigenic properties. 5.2% of individuals had NI antibody titers ≥1:20 against A/South Africa/3626/2013(H1N1)pdm compared to 53% of those who were positive to A/California/07/2009(H1N1)pdm NA. 2% of individuals had detectable NI titers against A/South Africa/3626/13(H1N1)pdm and 47.3% were positive to A/California/07/2009(H1N1)pdm NA among participants negative to hemagglutinin (HA) of A/H1N1pdm09 but positive to seasonal A/H1N1. The lowest NI antibody levels to both A/H1N1pdm09 viruses were detected in individuals born between 1956 and 1968. Our data suggest that NI antibodies against A/South Africa/3626/13 (H1N1)pdm found in the blood donors could have resulted from direct infection with a new antigenic A/H1N1pdm09 variant rather than from cross-reaction as a result of contact with previously circulating seasonal A/H1N1 variants. The immune responses against HA and NA were formed simultaneously right after natural infection with A/H1N1pdm09. NI antibodies correlated with virus-neutralizing antibodies when acquired shortly after influenza infection. A group of middle-aged patients with the lowest level of anti-NA antibodies against A/California/07/2009 (H1N1)pdm was identified, indicating the highest-priority vaccination against A/H1N1pdm09 viruses.

We evaluated NI serum antibodies against A/California/07/09(H1N1)pdm and A/South Africa/3626/2013(H1N1)pdm in 134 blood donors of different ages using enzyme-linked lectin assay and in 15 paired sera from convalescents with laboratory confirmed influenza. The neuraminidase (NA) proteins of both A/H1N1pdm09 viruses had minimal genetic divergence, but demonstrated different enzymatic and antigenic properties. 5.2% of individuals had NI antibody titers ≥1:20 against A/South Africa/3626/2013(H1N1)pdm compared to 53% of those who were positive to A/California/07/2009(H1N1)pdm NA. 2% of individuals had detectable NI titers against A/South Africa/3626/13(H1N1)pdm and 47.3% were positive to A/California/07/2009(H1N1)pdm NA among participants negative to hemagglutinin (HA) of A/H1N1pdm09 but positive to seasonal A/H1N1. The lowest NI antibody levels to both A/H1N1pdm09 viruses were detected in individuals born between 1956 and 1968. Our data suggest that NI antibodies against A/South Africa/3626/13 (H1N1)pdm found in the blood donors could have resulted from direct infection with a new antigenic A/H1N1pdm09 variant rather than from cross-reaction as a result of contact with previously circulating seasonal A/H1N1 variants. The immune responses against HA and NA were formed simultaneously right after natural infection with A/H1N1pdm09. NI antibodies correlated with virus-neutralizing antibodies when acquired shortly after influenza infection. A group of middle-aged patients with the lowest level of anti-NA antibodies against A/California/07/2009 (H1N1)pdm was identified, indicating the highest-priority vaccination against A/H1N1pdm09 viruses.</p></abstract><funding-group><funding-statement>The authors received no specific funding for this work.</funding-statement></funding-group><counts><fig-count count="5"></fig-count><table-count count="2"></table-count><page-count count="15"></page-count></counts><custom-meta-group><custom-meta id="data-availability"><meta-name>Data Availability</meta-name><meta-value>All relevant data are within the paper and its Supporting Information files.</meta-value></custom-meta></custom-meta-group></article-meta><notes><title>Data Availability</title><p>All relevant data are within the paper and its Supporting Information files.</p></notes></front><body><sec sec-type="intro" id="sec001"><title>Introduction</title><p>According to WHO-recognized National Influenza Centers in Moscow and Saint Petersburg, 2015/2016 epidemic season in Russia characterized by rapid increase of influenza and acute respiratory infection (ARI) morbidity from week 3 of 2016. Increases in influenza-like illness and hospitalization rates were similar to those observed during the 2009 pandemic and epidemic in 2010–2011 and were much higher than in other seasons [<xref rid="pone.0196771.ref001" ref-type="bibr">1</xref>]. According to the phylogenetic analysis of amino acid sequences of the main antigenic glycoprotein hemagglutinin (HA), many of A/H1N1 viruses isolated in Russia in 2015–2016 belong to the clade 6B of A/H1N1pdm09 (A/South Africa/3626/2013-like) [<xref rid="pone.0196771.ref001" ref-type="bibr">1</xref>]. Antibodies directed against HA provide the main protection against influenza illness. However, as it was shown in 1973, antibodies against minor immunogenic viral glycoprotein, neuraminidase (NA), can also provide protection against influenza infection [<xref rid="pone.0196771.ref002" ref-type="bibr">2</xref>]. Namely, antibodies against NA block viral progeny release from cells during detachment of mature viral particles from the cell surface. At the initial stage of influenza infection cycle, anti-NA antibodies may prevent connection of HA with cellular receptors [<xref rid="pone.0196771.ref003" ref-type="bibr">3</xref>], block proapoptotic NA function [<xref rid="pone.0196771.ref004" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>], and inhibit NA plasminogen activation [<xref rid="pone.0196771.ref005" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>]. Furthermore, antibodies against NA can facilitate recognition of infected cells by macrophages and natural killer (NK) cells, mediating the activation of the complement system during complement-dependent cytotoxicity [<xref rid="pone.0196771.ref006" ref-type="bibr">6</xref>].</p><p>The hemagglutination-inhibition (HI) assay is most commonly used to assess previous exposure and protective immunity to influenza viruses as well as to evaluate influenza vaccine immunogenicity. However, the presence of NA inhibiting (NI) antibodies is the least explored. The 2009 influenza pandemic caused by A/H1N1pdm09 initiated a number of studies on the antibodies against viruses containing the N1 NA. The importance of NA immunity against naturally occurring influenza was previously demonstrated by evaluating HI and NI antibody titers in a study conducted during 2009–2011 [<xref rid="pone.0196771.ref007" ref-type="bibr">7</xref>]. The presence of a population possessing the cross-reactive NI antibodies, which were acquired as a result of previous infection or vaccination with previously circulated influenza viruses, can be decisive in reducing illness and mortality, as shown during a pandemic caused by the A/H3N2 virus in 1968 [<xref rid="pone.0196771.ref002" ref-type="bibr">2</xref>]. In addition, a number of studies were conducted to identify cross-reactive anti-NA antibodies against the new influenza virus like A/H1N1pdm09 [<xref rid="pone.0196771.ref008" ref-type="bibr">8</xref>] and to examine the formation and function of protective antibodies against NA by immunization with influenza vaccines [<xref rid="pone.0196771.ref009" ref-type="bibr">9</xref>, <xref rid="pone.0196771.ref010" ref-type="bibr">10</xref>]. At the WHO meetings in 2005 and 2009, leading experts noted the increasing importance of developing and improving methods for detection of antibodies against influenza virus NA [<xref rid="pone.0196771.ref011" ref-type="bibr">11</xref>]. It is important to study immunity against NA because NI antibodies are considered to be independent predictors of anti-influenza immunity [<xref rid="pone.0196771.ref007" ref-type="bibr">7</xref>, <xref rid="pone.0196771.ref008" ref-type="bibr">8</xref>]. The aim of the present study was to evaluate serum anti-NA antibodies against two A/H1N1pdm09 strains, A/California/07/09 (H1N1)pdm and A/South Africa/3626/2013 (H1N1)pdm, in the Russian population.</p></sec><sec sec-type="materials|methods" id="sec002"><title>Materials and methods</title><sec id="sec003"><title>Viruses</title><p>To evaluate the NI antibodies against A/H1N1pdm09 viruses, we developed chimeric viruses with HA non-relevant to seasonal influenza viruses.

Briefly, A/California/07/09 (H1N1)pdm and A/South Africa/3626/2013 (H1N1)pdm viruses were standardized to an equivalent NA protein content of 0.015 ng/μl as determined by protein gel electrophoresis using purified and concentrated viruses. This virus dilution was selected as a dilution that converted ≤15% MUNANA substrate to product during the reaction time in order to meet the requirements for steady-state kinetic analysis [<xref rid="pone.0196771.ref017" ref-type="bibr">17</xref>]. Virus dilutions were prepared in enzyme buffer [32.5 mM of 2-(N<italic>-</italic>morpholino) ethanesulfonic acid (MES), 4 mM of calcium chloride, pH 6.5] and added (100 μl/well) in duplicate to a flat-bottom 96-well opaque black plate (Corning, USA). After preincubation for 20–30 min at 37°C, the MUNANA substrate at various concentrations (separately pre-incubated for 20–30 min at 37°C) was added to all wells (50 μl/well). Immediately after adding the MUNANA substrate, the plate was transferred to a 37°C pre-warmed SpectraMAX Gemini XPS microplate reader (Molecular Devices, USA) and fluorescence was measured every 60 s for 60 min at 37°C, using excitation and emission wavelengths of 360 nm and 460 nm, respectively. Enzymatic reactions were performed under conditions where signal-to-noise ratios were above 10 during more than 30 min of the reaction time.

Contact with previously circulated A/H1N1 viruses did not induce cross-reactive NI antibodies against A/South Africa/3626/13 (H1N1)pdm, but induced NI antibodies cross-reactive with A/California/07/09 (H1N1)pdm. Our survey revealed a low level of detectable NI antibodies against new antigenic A/H1N1pdm09 variant (5.2%), especially in light of the fact that pandemic viruses have been circulating in Russia for more than 6 years. As it was shown in our previous work [<xref rid="pone.0196771.ref026" ref-type="bibr">26</xref>], even in 2005, <italic>i</italic>.<italic>e</italic>. long before the appearance of A/H1N1pdm09 in humans, the level of cross-reactive antibodies against A/California/07/09 (H1N1)pdm NA with titers ≥1:20 was 7.1%, and after the introduction of the virus into circulation it increased up to 30% and later up to 53% in 2016. The levels of “herd” immunity against NA, as determined by the number of subjects with NI antibody titers ≥1:40 against the A/South Africa/3626/13 (H1N1)pdm were low compared to those against A/California/07/09 (H1N1)pdm (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone.0196771.g003">Fig 3B</xref>). One explanation of these results could be antigenic differences between NAs of the two pandemic viruses. As previously reported, even a single amino acid change within an immunodominant epitope may lead to loss of reactivity with polyclonal antisera [<xref rid="pone.0196771.ref027" ref-type="bibr">27</xref>]. For example, introduction of a single NA amino acid change in A/Solomon Islands/3/2006 strain at position 329 resulted in reduced enzyme inhibition by ferret and human sera directed against this virus [<xref rid="pone.0196771.ref028" ref-type="bibr">28</xref>]. The amino acid sequences of the A/California/07/09 (H1N1)pdm NA and A/South Africa/3626/13 (H1N1)pdm NA differed by 2% and 7 substitutions were located in the head domain, outside the active center. The substitutions N372K and K432E were located in the portion from the second binding site, commonly found in N6 and N9 avian influenza viruses [<xref rid="pone.0196771.ref029" ref-type="bibr">29</xref>]. When MUNANA was used as a substrate, A/California/07/09 (H1N1)pdm NA exhibited significantly decreased NA activity compared to that of A/South Africa/3626/13 (H1N1)pdm (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone.0196771.g001">Fig 1C</xref>, <xref ref-type="table" rid="pone.0196771.t001">Table 1</xref>). These results may suggest that there is interplay between enzyme activity and antigenicity of N1 NA protein. Our finding may also explain the ineffective inhibition of A/South Africa/3626/13 (H1N1)pdm NA by cross-reactive NI antibodies induced against previously circulated A/H1N1 viruses, including A/California/07/09 (H1N1)pdm.</p><p>Previously it has been reported that anti-HA stalk monoclonal antibodies bind to H6 HA reducing the NA activity of the reassortant H6NX viruses through steric interactions [<xref rid="pone.0196771.ref022" ref-type="bibr">22</xref>] thus affecting the results of the NI reaction. Despite the fact that we used A/H6N1 reassortant virus in one case and A/H7N1 in the other case to NI test, the data can still be comparable since the HA stalk domain is highly conservative [<xref rid="pone.0196771.ref030" ref-type="bibr">30</xref>]. We assume that the difference in NI antibody levels against A/California/07/09 (H1N1)pdm and A/South Africa/3626/13 (H1N1)pdm in the population as a whole can be attributed to the presence of cross-reactive, rather than homologous, antibodies to a drift A/H1N1pdm09 variant. This was confirmed by the data from the A/H1N1pdm-positive patients, when the correlation between NI antibody levels against A/California/07/09 (H1N1)pdm and A/South Africa/3626/13 (H1N1)pdm were more pronounced compared to the population at a whole (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone.0196771.g003">Fig 3D</xref>). Analyzing the sera of patients soon after the influenza infection we showed that the immune responses to both influenza surface antigens were induced simultaneously right after natural infection with A/H1N1pdm09 viruses (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone.0196771.g005">Fig 5A and 5B</xref>). Some autonomy of the HI and NI immune responses among those subjects who have been exposed to the virus in the past may be related to the timing of the material sampling, particularly when detecting anti-NA antibodies.</p><p>Influenza infection represents a particular risk of complications and increased mortality in the elderly. The disease is characterized by a combination of inflammatory changes in the upper respiratory tract with general intoxication and damage to the nervous and cardiovascular systems, thus causing severe complications when developed against the background of atherosclerotic changes in the cardiovascular system and other chronic conditions [<xref rid="pone.0196771.ref031" ref-type="bibr">31</xref>]. In a number of previous studies, the NI antibody titers against A/H1N1pdm09 were detected in the sera of older individuals [<xref rid="pone.0196771.ref032" ref-type="bibr">32</xref>], possibly explaining the reported low incidence of A/H1N1pdm09 disease in the elderly [<xref rid="pone.0196771.ref033" ref-type="bibr">33</xref>]. Indeed, the importance of NA immunity against naturally occurring influenza was demonstrated by evaluating HI and NI antibody titers in a study conducted during 2009–2011 [<xref rid="pone.0196771.ref034" ref-type="bibr">34</xref>] when increased serum NI titers were associated with reduced illnesses. Elderly individuals who were likely exposed to 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic had high neutralizing titers against A/H1N1pdm09 [<xref rid="pone.0196771.ref021" ref-type="bibr">21</xref>] and were more likely to possess cross-reactive antibodies against A/H1N1pdm09 N1 NA. In the present study, we did not observe significant difference in HI and NI antibody levels against A/South Africa/3626/13 (H1N1)pdm among individuals born before 1957 compared to the younger subjects. In contrast, the highest levels of NI antibodies against A/California/07/09 (H1N1)pdm were found in the older age group compared to other groups studied. Thus, the highest levels of NI antibodies against A/California/07/09 (H1N1)pdm may be attributed to cross-reactive antibodies against A/H1N1 viruses other than A/H1N1pdm09. A group of middle-aged patients with the lowest level of NI antibodies against a new antigenic A/H1N1pdm09 variant was identified, indicating the highest-priority vaccination against new antigenic variants.</p></sec><sec sec-type="supplementary-material" id="sec017"><title>Supporting information</title><supplementary-material content-type="local-data" id="pone.0196771.s001"><label>S1
