YFV Vaccine Antibody Response Monitoring

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human sera before and after vaccination with the YFV Vaccine Stamaril® (Sanofi) were derived from a YF-17D vaccination study, approved by the responsible institutional review board of the Medical Faculty, LMU Munich; (IRB #86–16). In this study, blood was taken from healthy adults directly before the vaccination (d0) as an individual reference and on day 7, 14 and 28 post vaccination (dpv) to determine the titre of neutralising antibodies. Serum was collected in S-Monovettes (Z-Gel; Sarstedt, Nuembrecht, Germany) and separated from whole blood by centrifugation at 2500 × g for 10 min. Samples were frozen and kept at -80°C until use. To probe the reliability of the FluoRNT at later time points after the vaccination blood samples were taken from 15 healthy volunteers with a history of being vaccinated with Stamaril® between 4 month and up to 19 years ago (approved by the IRB of the Medical Faculty, LMU Munich, 24062006GP).

Propagation and Titration of Yellow Fever Virus

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
YF-17D virus (Stamaril, Sanofi Pasteur; reconstituted as recommended by the manufacturer) was propagated in Vero (ATCC CCL-81) cells grown in DMEM containing 10% FCS, glutamine and antibiotics (penicillin and streptomycin). Cell monolayers were seeded 24 hours earlier and infected with at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 0.001/cell in DMEM 2% FCS; infectious supernatants were harvested when cytopathic effect was more than 60% (day 6 p.i), freeze-thawed and clarified of cell debris at 2000 rpm for 15 min at 4C°. Viral stocks were stored as single use aliquots at -80C°. For determining virus infectious titers, we used an Immuno Focus assay (IFA) recently developed in our lab [22 (link)]. In brief, virus stocks were serially diluted (ten-fold) in DMEM and adsorbed for 1h at 37 C° onto Vero (ATCC CCL-81) cell monolayers in twenty four-well plates; cells were then overlaid with media containing 0.9% methyl cellulose and incubated at 37 C° for 3 days. Following fixation and permeabilization, a monoclonal antibody directed against NS3 from YF-17D virus was used for detection of virus antigens within infected cells; the foci of infection (analogous to plaques) were visualized using HRP-substrate reaction and counted. When virus titers in the brains were determined, the IFA was performed on serial 10-fold dilutions of homogenized and clarified 10% organ suspensions.

Antiviral assay: Trityl compounds were prepared as stock solution of 100 mm in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and then were diluted to a final assay concentration of 20, 10, 5 μm. Dilutions were made by adding the appropriate amount of DMSO to lyophilized compound to achieve stock concentrations of 10 to 100 mm. Dissolved compounds were stored at −20 °C and brought to rt prior to assay. All compounds were well dissolved in DMSO, and precipitates were not observed upon thawing.
Cell culture: Vero cells were grown in Dulbecco′s modified Eagle′s medium (DMEM, Sigma‐Aldrich) with 10 % FBS (Sigma‐Aldrich). Cells were plated into 96‐well plates at a density of 103 cells per well.
Virus culture: Cells were then infected with dengue virus (serotype D2 (strain New Guinea C), ATCC Number: VR‐1584), and yellow fever vaccine (17 D strain Asibi; grown from a dose of Sanofi Pasteur STAMARIL (1000IU from embryonated chicken eggs) and adapted to Vero cells (Farleigh and Bugert, 2014, unpublished results) at a moi of 1, or left uninfected to determine compound toxicity.
Cell viability was determined after seven days using CellTiterGlo PROMEGA, following the manufacturer's instructions. All experiments were performed in triplicate.

Propagation and Titration of YF-17D Virus

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
YF-17D virus (Stamaril, Sanofi Pasteur; reconstituted as recommended by the manufacturer) was propagated in Vero cells (ATCC CCL-81) grown in DMEM containing 10 % FCS, glutamine and antibiotics (penicillin and streptomycin). Cell monolayers were seeded 24 hours earlier and infected with virus at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 0.001 in DMEM 2% FCS; infectious supernatants were harvested when cytopathic effect was more than 60% (day 6 p.i ), freeze-thawed and clarified of cell debris at 2000 rpm for 15 min at 4°C. Viral stocks were stored as single use aliquots at −80°C. An immune focus assay (IFA) was developed to quantitate infectious virus. In brief, virus stocks were serially diluted (10-fold) in DMEM and adsorbed for 1hour at 37°C onto Vero cell monolayers in 24-well plates; cells were then overlaid with media containing 0.9% methyl cellulose and incubated at 37°C for 3 days. Following fixation and permeabilization, a monoclonal antibody made against NS3 from YF-17D virus was used for detection of virus antigens within infected cells; foci of infection (analogous to plaques) were visualized using a horse radish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated secondary antibody and counted. When virus titers in the brain were determined, the IFA was performed on homogenized and clarified 10% organ suspensions. The detection limit for virus in organs was 200 PFU/g organ.

Immune response to yellow fever vaccine

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The study cohort consisted of 76 subjects (42 f, 34 m; age range, 18–82 years) from whom PBMC samples were obtained 14–54 days (median, 25 days) after vaccination with the YF virus strain 17D-204 (STAMARIL®; Sanofi Pasteur). Blood samples of ten healthy donors obtained at the Austrian Red Cross and the Department of Virology, Medical University of Vienna, were used for cell sorting experiments. In these samples, previous YF vaccination was confirmed by YF virus neutralization assays. As a control, samples of ten YF-seronegative individuals (6 f, 4 m; age range, 22–47 years) who had no history of YF vaccination or infection were analysed.

For in vitro stimulation, a ZIKV E peptide pool (JPT Peptide Technologies GmbH, Berlin, Germany) and an MHC I Haplotype class-restricted YFV-17D NS3 peptide47 (link) (sequence ATLTYRML, Eurogentec, Seraing, Belgium) were used. For the production of cell lysates, Vero E6 cells were infected with YFV-17D (Stamaril®, SanofiPasteur) or Zika virus (BeH819015). Two days after infection, cells were subjected to serial freeze-thaw cycles, inactivated by 254 nm UV irradiation overnight and the diluted cell lysate (50 µg/ml) was used as antigen for the stimulation of splenocytes. Non-infected Vero E6 cell lysate was used as a negative control.

The live-attenuated yellow fever vaccine strain 17D (YF17D; Stamaril®, Sanofi-Pasteur) was purchased via the Pharmacy of the University Hospital Leuven and propagated on Vero E6 cells to generate a virus stock. The generation of the YF17D-derived reporter viruses YF17D/mCherry and YF17D/Nluc expressing, respectively, the red fluorescent protein mCherry and the bioluminescent (furimazine-converting) Nanoluciferase (NLuc, see Supplementary Fig. S1 A) has been described elsewhere.27 (link),28 (link) Virus stocks were titrated by plaque assay on BHK21 J cells.18 (link),27 (link),28 (link) The synthetic DNA construct PLLAV-YF17D/mCherry, encoding a full-length infectious cDNA clone of the YF17D/mCherry virus (Supplementary Fig. S1 B) expressed under the control of the SV40 promoter,29 (link) was grown in E. coli EPI300-T cells (Epicenter) and purified as endotoxin-free supercoiled plasmid DNA using standard alkaline lysis and affinity chromatography techniques as described previously.28 (link) PLLAV-YF17D/mCherry_CMV-eGFP is a derivative of PLLAV-YF17D/mCherry in which a CMV promoter-driven GFP reporter cassette was inserted in the plasmid backbone as a second cistron that is expressed upon transfection independent of YF17D replication (Supplementary Fig. S1 B and C).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
