    Abstract Immunoglobulin A (IgA) has been showing potential as a new therapeutic antibody. However, recombinant IgA suffers from low yield. Supplementation of the medium is an effective approach to improving the production and quality of recombinant proteins. In this study, we adapted IgA1-producing CHO-K1 suspension cells to a high concentration (150 mM) of different disaccharides, namely sucrose, maltose, lactose, and trehalose, to improve the production and quality of recombinant IgA1. The disaccharide-adapted cell lines had slower cell growth rates, but their cell viability was extended compared to the nonadapted IgA1-producing cell line. Glucose consumption was exhausted in all cell lines except for the maltose-adapted one, which still contained glucose even after the 9th day of culturing. Lactate production was higher among the disaccharide-adapted cell lines. The specific productivity of the maltose-adapted IgA1-producing line was 4.5-fold that of the nonadapted line. In addition, this specific productivity was higher than in previous productions of recombinant IgA1 with a lambda chain. Lastly, secreted IgA1 aggregated in all cell lines, which may have been caused by self-aggregation. This aggregation was also found to begin inside the cells for maltose-adapted cell line. These results suggest that a high concentration of disaccharide-supplemented induced hyperosmolarity in the IgA1-producing CHO-K1 cell lines. In addition, the maltose-adapted CHO-K1 cell line benefited from having an additional source of carbohydrate.

    Abstract Purpose: Highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses are a threat to human health. Although donor populations have not experienced pandemic, they have been immunized by natural infections and/or vaccinations of influenza viruses such as A/H1N1, A/H3N2, and B. Therefore, it is considered that human intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) derived from healthy donors does not include IgG against avian influenza viruses. However, cross-reactivity has not been evaluated yet. In this study, cross-reactivity against the avian influenza virus A/H5N1, A/H7N1, A/H7N2, A/H7N7, A/H7N9, and A/H10N9 was evaluated.
    Materials and methods: Several lots of IVIG derived from healthy donors in Japan were tested for virus neutralization using single- or multi-cycle virus neutralizing (S-VN or M-VN) assays that evaluate the infection-step associated with HA or the infection and propagation steps associated with HA and NA, respectively. In addition, anti-NA activities were evaluated by inhibiting the enzymatic activity in NAI assays.
    Results: IVIG lots showed high neutralizing activities against three A/H5N1 strains in M-VN assays, whereas activities in S-VN assays were unstable. In addition, A/H7N2 was also neutralized in S-VN and M-VN assays, with higher activity in M-VN than in S-VN assays. A/H7N1 was neutralized in S-VN and M-VN assays. In contrast, weak or no activity against A/H7N7, A/H7N9, and A/H10N9 was observed in S-VN and M-VN assays. NAI assay results show that IVIG lots had inhibitory activities against N1 and N2; however, N2 activities differed depending on the strain. In contrast, no activities were observed against N7 and N9.
    Conclusion: These results suggest that IVIG lots have neutralizing activity against avian influenza viruses during the virus propagation step, except for one strain, although no or weak activity was observed during the infection step.

    Abstract Previously, we demonstrated the utility of a recombinant chimeric flavivirus (DV2ChimV), which carries the premembrane (prM) and envelope (E) genes of a type 2 DENV clinical (Thai) isolate on a backbone of Japanese encephalitis virus, for evaluating the protective efficacy of antidengue envelope antibodies both in vitro and in vivo. Here, to assess the potential use of this model for pathological studies, we aimed to characterize interferon-α/β-γ-receptor double-knockout mice (IFN-α/β/γR dKO mice) infected with DV2ChimV. Vascular leakage and bone marrow suppression are unique features of severe dengue. In the current model, DV2ChimV caused vascular leakage in the liver and intestine at the moribund stage. High levels of virus were detected in the bone marrow, and strong bone marrow suppression (i.e., disappearance of megakaryocytes and erythroblastic islets) was observed. These observations suggest that the DV2ChimV-infected mouse model mimics the vascular leakage and bone marrow suppression observed in human cases.

    Abstract Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is a novel tick-borne infectious disease, therefore, the information on the whole genome of the SFTS virus (SFTSV) is still limited. This study demonstrates a nearly whole genome of the SFTSV identified in Osaka in 2017 and 2018 by next-generation sequencing (NGS). The evolutionary lineage of two genotypes, C5 and J1, was identified in Osaka. The first case in Osaka belongs to suspect reassortment (L:C5, M:C5, S:C4), the other is genotype J1 (L: J1, M: J1, S: J1) according to the classification by a Japanese group. C5 was identified in China, indicating that C5 identified in this study may be transmitted by birds between China and Japan. This study revealed that different SFTSV genotypes were distributed in two local areas, suggesting the separate or focal transmission patterns in Osaka.

    Abstract We recently demonstrated how various enveloped viruses can be efficiently concentrated using magnetic beads coated with an anionic polymer, poly(methyl vinyl ether-maleic anhydrate). However, the exact mechanism of interaction between the virus particles and anionic beads remains unclear. To further investigate whether these magnetic anionic beads specifically bind to the viral envelope, we examined their potential interaction with a nonenveloped virus (adenovirus). The beads were incubated with either adenovirus-infected cell culture medium or nasal aspirates from adenovirus-infected individuals and then separated from the supernatant by applying a magnetic field. After thoroughly washing the beads, adsorption of adenovirus was confirmed by a variety of techniques, including immunochromatography, polymerase chain reaction, Western blotting, and cell culture infection assays. These detection methods positively identified the hexon and penton capsid proteins of adenovirus along with the viral genome on the magnetic beads. Furthermore, various types of adenovirus including Types 5, 6, 11, 19, and 41 were captured using the magnetic bead procedure. Our bead capture method was also found to increase the sensitivity of viral detection. Adenovirus below the detectable limit for immunochromatography was efficiently concentrated using the magnetic bead procedure, allowing the virus to be successfully detected using this methodology. Moreover, these findings clearly demonstrate that a viral envelope is not required for binding to the anionic magnetic beads. Taken together, our results show that this capture procedure increases the sensitivity of detection of adenovirus and would, therefore, be a valuable tool for analyzing both clinical and experimental samples.

    Abstract Magnetic beads coated with an anionic polymer, poly(methyl vinyl ether-maleic anhydrate) [poly(MVE-MA)], were used in a method to capture human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1). The beads were incubated with either HIV-1-infected cell culture medium or plasma from HIV-1 infected individuals and separated from the supernatant by applying a magnetic field. After thorough washing, adsorption of HIV-1 by the beads was confirmed by reverse transcription (RT)-polymerase chain reaction (PCR), real-time PCR, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and western blotting. The results confirmed the presence of envelope, polymerase, Nef and the viral genome of HIV-1. Furthermore, various subtypes and circulating recombinant forms (CRFs) of HIV-1 including subtype B, C and CRF01_AE and the immature form of subtype B HIV-1 could be captured. Preincubation with neutralizing antibody against HIV-1 envelope gp41 decreased the capture efficiently, suggesting that poly(MVE-MA) binds HIV-1 via gp41. We believe that this capture procedure will be a valuable tool for detecting various types of HIV-1 in both clinical and experimental samples.
