The swine influenza virus (SIV) strain A/Swine/TianJin/01/2004(H1N1) (A/S/TJ/04) was rescued successfully by an eight-plasmid rescue system. The cDNAs of SIV 8 gene segments were synthesized by RT-PCR and cloned into the RNA polymerase I/II bidirection expression vector PHW2000 independently, resulting in 8 recombinant plasmids. The 8 recombinant plasmids were cotransfected into COS-1 cell, 30 h later TPCK-trypsin was added to 0.5 microg/mL. The COS-1 cell and supernatant were harvested 48 h after cotransfection and were inoculated into the allantoic cavity of 9-day-old specific-pathogen free (SPF) chicken eggs. The allantoic fluid of dead eggs was harvested and passaged 3 generations in SPF chicken eggs to get infective virus. The successful rescue of A/S/TJ/04 SIV was identified by hemagglutination assay, hemagglutination inhibition assay, sequence analysis and electron microscope observation. The successful rescue of SIV built a platform for the research of the relationship between genome structure and function of SIV, the mechanisms of trans-species transmission of influenza virus and for the generation of new SIV as vaccine.

Influenza virus infections are a serious danger to people's health worldwide as they are responsible for seasonal flu outbreaks. There is an urgent need to improve the effectiveness and durability longevity of the immune response to influenza vaccines. We synthesized the CpG HP021 and examined the impact of it on the immune response to an influenza vaccine.

Several viruses, including influenza A virus (IAV), encode viral factors to hijack cellular RNA biogenesis processes to direct the degradation of host mRNAs, termed "host shutoff." Host shutoff enables viruses to simultaneously reduce antiviral responses and provides preferential access for viral mRNAs to cellular translation machinery. IAV PA-X is one of these factors that selectively shuts off the global host genes.

Avian influenza viruses are ubiquitous in the Anatinae subfamily of aquatic birds and occasionally spill over to poultry. Infection with low pathogenicity avian influenza viruses generally leads to subclinical or mild clinical disease. In contrast, highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses emerge from low pathogenic forms and can cause severe disease associated with extraordinarily high mortality rates.

Biozentrum, Universität Basel, Basel, Switzerland.
As pathogens spread in a population of hosts, immunity is built up, and the pool of susceptible individuals are depleted. This generates selective pressure, to which many human RNA viruses, such as influenza virus or SARS-CoV-2, respond with rapid antigenic evolution and frequent emergence of immune evasive variants. However, the host's immune systems adapt, and older immune responses wane, such that escape variants only enjoy a growth advantage for a limited time.
