Immunoglobulin G Subclass Response After Chikungunya Virus Infection

Various vaccines are under development to prevent chikungunya (CHIKV) infection. For the assessment of the CHIKV vaccine-induced antibody response, it is extremely important to understand antibody response after the infection has occurred. Previously, we assessed IgG response in samples from healthy donors using I-CHIKV and found that IgG1 was the predominant subclass induced after CHIKV infection followed by IgG4. However, IgG3 subclass induction is reported in serum samples from patients with acute CHIKV infection. Therefore, in this study, we evaluated serum/plasma from samples of patients with acute CHIKV infection for the presence of IgG and IgG subclasses against I-CHIKV and recombinant E2 protein (rE2). Out of 44 samples that were positive against I-CHIKV, 43 were found reactive against rE2. The positivity of IgG1 either alone or together with other IgG subclasses using I-CHIKV was 89% samples, while 86% samples were positive using rE2. High titers of IgG1 are obtained with I-CHIKV (67%), while raised IgG4 levels are detected using rE2p (72%) in the samples that are positive for both these subclasses. Testing of 22 samples for neutralizing antibodies revealed 100% IgG1 positivity and neutralizing antibodies in 21, 1 sample negative for both. Overall, these data will be useful in assessing IgG subclass-specific CHIKV neutralization and response after CHIKV immunization.
