Формально инактивированная вакцина вызывает перекрестный иммунитет в мышиной модели инфекции человека 71.

Formalin-inactivated vaccine provokes cross-protective immunity in a mouse model of human enterovirus 71 infection.

Human enterovirus 71 (HEV71) has emerged as a major cause of epidemics of hand, foot and mouth disease associated with severe neurological sequelae in the Asia-Pacific region. In this study, a passive protection mouse model was used to evaluate the protective efficacy of formalin-inactivated HEV71 vaccines derived from a Chinese C4 genotype strain. Pregnant mice were immunised using a prime/boost strategy and ≥50U of vaccine protected five-day-old pups from lethal challenge with a mouse-adapted (B3 genotype) strain of HEV71. Immunised mice developed a neutralising antibody response to both the immunising C4 strain and to the mouse-adapted strain. Mice born to immunised dams showed significantly less myositis and reduced viral loads in tissues.
