Long-term Observation of Hemagglutinin and Neuraminidase Inhibition Antibody Titers After Influenza Challenge : Long-Term Observation of Hemagglutinin and Neuraminidase Inhibition Antibody Titers After Influenza Challenge

Circulating anti-influenza antibodies are an important factor in predicting clinical illness and severity in those infected with influenza. Specific antibodies against influenza include proteins targeting hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA). Lifelong immunity does not occur with influenza, either from natural infection or from vaccination. Due to the antigenic variation of Influenza A, individuals may become infected multiple times with the same subtype of influenza and even with the same strain. In the setting of natural infection and vaccination, antibody titer levels can persist initially, but then wane over time.In our previous challenge studies, measurements of antibody responses have been focused solely on the acute infection period up to 2 months after initial infection. Long-term changes in immunity have not been investigated. The challenge setting gives us the unique ability to follow individuals from a specific, known and well-characterized exposure/illness to measure long-term changes in antibody titers from a pre-exposure baseline. This study could offer unique insight into how anti-influenza antibody titers change over time naturally and in response to other infections and life events. This type of controlled study has never been done and we believe monitoring titers long-term will help us better understand protective correlates of influenza.In this natural history study, we will follow individuals who have undergone influenza challenge or have been naturally infected with influenza to evaluate changes in anti-influenza antibody titers over a 2-year period. Subjects will be followed for symptoms of influenza-like illness (ILI) and other changes in clinical status through quarterly clinical evaluations with blood draws. Monthly questionnaires will be used to follow subjects in between visits..
