摘要:
Provided are a highly-safe recombinant vaccinia virus that is effective in preventing the onset of symptoms due to infection by novel influenza viruses, and a vaccine for the novel influenza viruses containing the recombinant vaccinia virus. This recombinant vaccinia virus is capable of expressing the hemagglutinin protein genes of the novel influenza virus. This novel influenza vaccine contains the recombinant vaccinia virus.
摘要:
A method of immunoassay of H5 subtype influenza A virus by which the virus can be accurately assayed even in cases where a certain level of mutation has occurred in the H5 subtype influenza A virus, and a kit therefor, and a novel anti-H5 subtype influenza A virus monoclonal antibody which can be used for the immunoassay are disclosed. The antibody or an antigen-binding fragment thereof of the present invention undergoes antigen-antibody reaction with hemagglutinin of H5 subtype influenza A virus, and the corresponding epitope of the antibody or an antigen-binding fragment thereof is located in a region other than the receptor subdomain (excluding C-terminal region thereof consisting of 11 amino acids), which antibody or an antigen-binding fragment thereof does not have neutralizing activity against the influenza A virus.
