Immunohistochemistry: Avian Influenza A H6N1 Nucleoprotein Antibody [NB100-56572] - VN1203 infected & replicated in Purkinje cells, deep cerebellar nuclei of the cerebellum. Representative sections of cerebellum of ferrets instilled with allantoic fluid (A,B,G,H), HK483 (C,D,I,J), VN1203 (E,F,K,L). Viral antigen detected with IMGENEX 5187-A for avian influenza A NP & visualized with DAB. Brown stain indicates presence of virus. Counterstained with Luxol fast blue. (B-F) higher magnification of boxes in A-E respectively. H) White arrow indicates molecular layer, black arrow indicates granule layer, black arrowhead indicates a Purkinje cell, white arrowhead indicates Purkinje cell axons. L) Arrow indicate infected granule cell and arrowhead indicates infected Purkinje cell. Scale bars represent: A,C,E,G,I, - 2 mm; B,D,F,H,J,L - 300 um.

Immunohistochemistry: Avian Influenza A H6N1 Nucleoprotein Antibody [NB100-56572] - VN1203 induced significant pathology despite similar nasal turbinate titers in ferrets infected with either virus. Viral titers of homogenized nasal turbinates were graphed as mean +/- SEM for VN1203 or HK483 infected ferrets. D-I. Representative samples of nasal turbinate tissue of ferrets instilled with allantoic fluid (D,G), HK483 (E,H), or VN1203 (F,I). D-F were stained with H&E, G-I were stained with anti-avian influenza NP and counterstained with Luxol fast blue. F. # indicates inflammatory cells infiltrating the underlying stroma. H,I. Arrows point to H5N1 infected cells. Scale bars: D-F, 300 um; G-I, 100 um.

Background

An H6N1 influenza virus was isolated from a green-winged teal during the H5N1 outbreak in Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) in 1997. This virus possesses similar genes encoding internal proteins as in the human H5N1 and H9N2 influenza viruses. In 1999, influenza viruses from quail infected two humans in Hong Kong. suggesting the potential for avian influenza viruses to cross the species barrier and infect humans without prior reassortment in an intermediate host, such as the pig. The common features shared by H5N1 and H9N2 influenza viruses isolated from humans are the genes encoding the proteins of the replicating complex, the matrix protein (M) gene, the nonstructural protein (NS) gene, nucleoprotein (NP), and N1 neuraminidase (NA), This virus essentially represents the reemergence of the H5N1 influenza viruses with a different hemagglutinin (HA).
