The streptavidin alkaline phosphatase method was adapted to detect the viral antigen using a polyclonal anti-ZIKV antibody produced at the Evandro Chagas Institute2 (link). The biotin-streptavidin peroxidase method was used for immunostaining of tissues with antibodies specific for each marker studied. First, the tissue samples were deparaffinized in xylene and hydrated in a decreasing ethanol series (90%, 80%, and 70%). Endogenous peroxidase was blocked by incubating the sections in 3% hydrogen peroxide for 45 min. Antigen retrieval was performed by incubation in citrate buffer, pH 6.0, or EDTA, pH 9.0, for 20 min at 90 °C. Nonspecific proteins were blocked by incubating the sections in 10% skim milk for 30 min. The histological sections were then incubated overnight with the primary antibodies diluted in 1% bovine serum albumin (Supplementary Table S1). After this period, the slides were immersed in 1 × PBS and incubated with the secondary biotinylated antibody (LSAB, DakoCytomation) in an oven for 30 min at 37 °C. The slides were again immersed in 1X PBS and incubated with streptavidin peroxidase (LSAB, DakoCytomation) for 30 min at 37 °C. The reactions were developed with 0.03% diaminobenzidine and 3% hydrogen peroxide as the chromogen solution. After this step, the slides were washed in distilled water and counterstained with Harris hematoxylin for 1 min. Finally, the sections were dehydrated in an increasing ethanol series and cleared in xylene.

Investigation of Virus Infectivity as a Factor that Determines Plaque Size.

With the revelation that plaque formation is strongly influenced by the immunogenicity of the virus, the possibility that infectivity of the virus could be another factor that determines plaque sizes was investigated. The uptake of viruses into cells in vitro was determined by measuring the amounts of specific viral RNA sequences through real-time PCR.

To measure total viral RNA, total cellular RNA was extracted using the RNEasy Mini kit (Qiagen), and complementary DNA synthesized using the iScript cDNA Synthesis kit (Bio-Rad). To measure total viral RNA, quantitative real-time PCR was done using a primer pair targeting a highly conserved region of the 3′ UTR common to all four serotypes of dengue; inter-sample normalization was done using GAPDH as a control. Primer sequences are listed in Table 5. Pronase (Roche) was used at a concentration of 1 mg/mL and incubated with infected cells for five minutes on ice, before washing with ice cold PBS. Total cellular RNA was then extracted from the cell pellets in the manner described above.

The proportion of infected cells was assessed by flow cytometry. Cells were fixed and permeabilised with 3% paraformaldehyde and 0.1% saponin, respectively. DENV envelope (E) protein was stained with mouse monoclonal 4G2 antibody (ATCC) and AlexaFluor488 anti-mouse secondary antibody. Flow cytometry analysis was done on a BD FACS Canto II (BD Bioscience).

Unexpectedly, despite DENV-2 PDK53 inducing stronger antiviral immune responses, it had higher rates of uptake by HuH-7 cells compared to DENV-2 16681 (FIG. 5). This difference continued to be observed when DENV-2 PDK53 inoculum was reduced 10-fold. In contrast, DENV-3 PGMK30 and its parental strain DENV-3 16562 displayed the same rate of viral uptake in host cells. Furthermore, DENV-2 PDK53 showed a higher viral replication rate compared to DENV-2 16681. This was determined by measuring the percentage of cells that harbored DENV E-protein, detected using flow cytometry. DENV-2 PDK53 showed a higher percentage of infected cells compared to DENV-2 16681 at the same amount of MOI from Day 1 to 3 (FIG. 6). In contrast, DENV-3 PGMK30 showed a reverse trend and displayed lower percentage of infected cells compared to DENV-3 16562. Results here show that successfully attenuated vaccines, as exemplified by DENV-2 PDK53, have greater uptake and replication rate.

Results above demonstrate that the DENV-2 PDK53 and DENV-3 PGMK30 are polarized in their properties that influence plaque morphologies. While both attenuated strains were selected for their formation of smaller plaques compared to their parental strains, the factors leading to this outcome are different between the two.

Accordingly, this study has demonstrated that successfully attenuated vaccines, as exemplified by DENV-2 PDK53 in this study, form smaller plaques due to induction of strong innate immune responses, which is triggered by fast viral uptake and spread of infection. In contrast, DENV-3 PGMK30 form smaller plaques due to its slower uptake and growth in host cells, which inadvertently causes lower up-regulation of the innate immune response.

Based on the results presented in the foregoing Examples, the present invention provides a new strategy to prepare a LAV, which expedites the production process and ensures the generation of effectively attenuated viruses fit for vaccine use.

Example 14

In contrast to the previous experimental infection using specific pathogen-free Beagles (Crawford et al., 2005), the virus-inoculated mongrel dogs had pneumonia as evidenced by gross and histological analyses of the lungs from days 1 to 6 p.i. In addition to pneumonia, the dogs had rhinitis, tracheitis, bronchitis, and bronchiolitis similar to that described in naturally infected dogs (Crawford et al., 2005). There was epithelial necrosis and erosion of the lining of the airways and bronchial glands with neutrophil and macrophage infiltration of the submucosal tissues (FIG. 5, upper panels). Immunohistochemistry detected viral H3 antigen in the epithelial cells of bronchi, bronchioles, and bronchial glands (FIG. 5, lower panels). No bacterial superinfection was present. The respiratory tissues from the 2 sham-inoculated dogs were normal.

Example 6

The assay was made for determining the maximum dilution of the monoclonal antibodies RSV anti-P from the hybridomas 2E6/D2 and 6H5/H1, which allow the detection of the viral antigen using ELISA. For this, the same indirect ELISA technique was used of the example 6. The well was activated with 50 ng of the purified antigen and the anti-P antibodies 2E6/D2 or 6H5/H1 were used in dilutions 1:2, starting from the concentration of work (3.4 μg/ml) to the dilution 11 in PBS/FBS 10%. In FIG. 3 is observed that to all the dilutions, which were used in the assay, the anti-P 2E6/D2 and 6H5/H1 antibodies are able of detecting the RSV protein P. The anti-P RSVH102 antibody, catalogue number #AB94965, of Abcam, was also able of detecting in all the dilutions the RSV protein P, but it was less efficient than the anti-P 6H5/H1 antibody.

The negative control included on this assay, correspond to a well which does not contain sample (protein P), it was blocked with PBS/FBS 10%, primary antibody was not added (anti-P 2E6/D2 or anti-P 6H5/H1) and it contains only the mouse anti-IgG antibody conjugated with HRP.

Acute-phase serum or plasma samples were collected during the initial visit for study enrollment and transported to the IICS-UNA laboratory. Samples were tested for DENV NS1 antigen using the Standard Q Dengue Duo rapid immunochromatographic test (SD Biosensor, Suwon, South Korea) according to manufacturer recommendations. Qualitative antibody data acquired using this method was not evaluated in this study, see antibody section below. Primary samples were then aliquoted and stored at −80°C until later use or shipment on dry ice to Emory University for additional testing. For molecular testing, total nucleic acids were extracted from 200μL of sample on an EMAG instrument and eluted into 50μL of buffer. Samples were tested for Zika virus, chikungunya virus and DENV by real-time RT-PCR (rRT-PCR) using a validated and published multiplex assay (the ZCD assay) [60 (link)], and DENV serotype and viral load were determined with a published DENV multiplex assay [61 (link), 62 (link)]. Both rRT-PCRs were performed as previously described [60 (link)–62 (link)].
Serologic testing was performed on acute-phase samples using two different methods. First, anti-DENV IgG and IgM were analyzed using commercial ELISA kits [Dengue ELISA IgG (G1018) and Dengue ELISA IgM Capture (M1018), Vircell Microbiologists, Granada, Spain] according to manufacturer recommendations (interpretation: IgM or IgG index >11 positive, 9–11 indeterminate, <9 negative). Second, a 5μL aliquot of serum from 139 participants with sufficient sample was tested in the pGOLD assay (Nirmidas Biotech, Inc, Palo Alto, CA), which is a multiplex serological assay for IgM and IgG against DENV (DENV-2 whole virus antigen) and ZIKV (NS1 antigen). The pGOLD assay was performed as previously described [59 (link), 63 (link)]. In each well of the pGOLD slide, antigens are spotted in triplicate, and average signals are used during analysis. For IgG, the negative control signal was subtracted from the sample signal, and the difference was divided by the average signal of four IgG control spots included in each well. For IgM, a similar calculation was performed using the signal from a known anti-DENV IgM positive control sample included on each run. A positive threshold ratio of 0.1 was established for each isotype, which was ≥ 3 standard deviations above the mean of the negative control.
Chymase and LBP levels were determined using commercial ELISA kits (G-Biosciences, St. Louis, MO, USA), following the manufacturer’s instructions. Complete blood counts and chemistries were performed at the clinical site at the discretion of the care team, and results were included if the sample was obtained within ±1 day of enrollment.

Antigen capture ELISA was used to determine total IgT in tissue lysate. Briefly, microtiter well ELISA plates were coated with 1:100 dilution of mouse anti-CH2-CH4 antibody in coating buffer (0.1mol/liter carbonate-bicarbonate, pH 9.6) and incubated at 4°C overnight. After incubation, plates were washed three times and blocked with 3% BSA (Sigma) for 1 h at 37°C. All washes were performed with PBS containing 1% tween-20 (PBS-T). After washing, 100 µl of 1:20 dilutions of gill or intestine mucosal wash samples were added and plates were incubated for 1 h at 37°C. Plates were then washed three times and a 100 µl aliquot containing 1:200 dilutions of rabbit anti-CH2-CH4 IgT was added and incubated for 1 h at 37°C. After three washes, 100 µl of goat anti-rabbit HRP-conjugated antibody (DAKO Cytomation, Copenhagen, Denmark) diluted 1:1000 was added. After the final wash, the color development was visualized by adding 100 µl 3,3’,5,5’-tetramethylbenzidine (Sigma). The absorbance was measured at 450 nm using a microwell plate reader.
Similarly, the NNV-specific IgT or IgM level was determined by indirect ELISA. Purified RGNNV viral antigen was coated onto microtiter well ELISA plates and incubated overnight at 4°C. After washing and blocking with 3% BSA, 100 µl of gill or intestine mucosal wash samples were added and plates were incubated for 1 h at 37°C. Plates were washed three times and a 100 µl aliquot containing 1:200 dilutions of rabbit anti-CH2-CH4 IgT or 1:33 dilutions of anti-ASB IgM monoclonal antibody (Aquatic Diagnostics Ltd., Stirling, UK) was added and incubated for 1 h at 37°C. The color development was then visualized by adding goat anti-rabbit HRP-conjugated antibody or rabbit anti-mouse IgG conjugated to HRP (Dako Cytomation, Denmark) to the respective wells and followed by the addition of 3,3’,5,5’-tetramethylbenzidine (Sigma). The absorbance was measured at 450 nm using a microwell plate reader.
