Abstract | Humans can be infected by zoonotic avian, pandemic and seasonal influenza A viruses (IAVs), which differ by receptor specificity and conformational stability of their envelope glycoprotein hemagglutinin (HA). It was shown that receptor specificity of the HA determines the tropism of IAVs to human airway epithelial cells, the primary target of IAVs in humans. Less is known about potential effects of the HA properties on viral attachment, infection and activation of human immune cells. To address this question, we studied the infection of total human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and subpopulations of human PBMCs with well characterized recombinant IAVs differing by the HA and the neuraminidase (NA) but sharing all other viral proteins. Monocytes and all subpopulations of lymphocytes were significantly less susceptible to infection by IAVs with avian-like receptor specificity as compared to human-like IAVs, whereas plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) and myeloid dendritic cells were equally susceptible to IAVs with avian-like and human-like receptor specificity. This tropism correlated with the surface expression of 2-3-linked sialic acids (avian-type receptors) and 2-6-linked sialic acids (human-type receptors). Despite a reduced infectivity of avian-like IAVs for PBMCs, these viruses were not less efficient than human-like IAVs in terms of cell activation as judged by the induction of cellular mRNA of |
