In order to develop broadly reactive subtype-specific influenza vaccines, a methodology called computationally optimized broadly reactive antigens (COBRA) was used to design novel hemagglutinin (HA) vaccine immunogens. COBRA technology was effectively used to design HA immunogens that elicited antibodies that neutralized H5N1 and H1N1 isolates. In this report, the development and characterization of 17 prototype H3N2 COBRA HA proteins were screened in mice and ferrets for the elicitation of antibodies with HA inhibition (HAI) activity against human seasonal H3N2 viruses that were isolated over the last 48 years. The most effective COBRA HA vaccine regimens elicited antibodies with broader HAI activity against a panel of H3N2 viruses than wild-type H3 HA vaccines. The top leading COBRA HA candidates were tested against cocirculating variants. These variants were not efficiently detected by antibodies elicited by the wild-type HA from viruses selected as the vaccine candidates. The T-11 COBRA HA vaccine elicited antibodies with HAI and neutralization activity against all cocirculating variants from 2004 to 2007. This is the first report demonstrating broader breadth of vaccine-induced antibodies against cocirculating H3N2 strains compared to the wild-type HA antigens that were represented in commercial influenza vaccines.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>IMPORTANCE<\/jats:bold>\n                    There is a need for an improved influenza vaccine that elicits immune responses that recognize a broader number of influenza virus strains to prevent infection and transmission. Using the COBRA approach, a set of vaccines against influenza viruses in the H3N2 subtype was tested for the ability to elicit antibodies that neutralize virus infection against not only historical vaccine strains of H3N2 but also a set of cocirculating variants that circulated between 2004 and 2007. Three of the H3N2 COBRA vaccines recognized all of the cocirculating strains during this era, but the chosen wild-type vaccine strains were not able to elicit antibodies with HAI activity against these cocirculating strains. Therefore, the COBRA vaccines have the ability to elicit protective antibodies against not only the dominant vaccine strains but also minor circulating strains that can evolve into the dominant vaccine strains in the future.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1128\/jvi.01581-17","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,10,4]],"date-time":"2017-10-04T20:40:34Z","timestamp":1507149634000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1128\/asmj-crossmark-policy-page","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":94,"title":["Computationally Optimized Broadly Reactive Hemagglutinin Elicits Hemagglutination Inhibition Antibodies against a Panel of H3N2 Influenza Virus Cocirculating Variants"],"prefix":"10.1128","volume":"91","author":[{"given":"Terianne M.","family":"Wong","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Vaccines and Immunology, University of Georgia, Athens, Georgia, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"James D.","family":"Allen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Vaccines and Immunology, University of Georgia, Athens, Georgia, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anne-Gaelle","family":"Bebin-Blackwell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Vaccines and Immunology, University of Georgia, Athens, Georgia, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Donald M.","family":"Carter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Vaccines and Immunology, University of Georgia, Athens, Georgia, USA"},{"name":"Department of Infectious Diseases, University of Georgia, Athens, Georgia, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Timothy","family":"Alefantis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sanofi-Pasteur, Inc., Discovery Research, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Joshua","family":"DiNapoli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sanofi-Pasteur, Inc., Discovery Research, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Harold","family":"Kleanthous","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sanofi-Pasteur, Inc., Discovery Research, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ted M.","family":"Ross","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Vaccines and Immunology, University of Georgia, Athens, Georgia, USA"},{"name":"Department of Infectious Diseases, University of Georgia, Athens, Georgia, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"235","reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.vaccine.2010.08.027"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.vaccine.2009.08.038"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/cid\/cit272"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1471-2105-12-S1-S31"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1471-2334-13-589"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_7_2","volume-title":"CDC presents updated estimates of flu vaccine effectiveness for the 2014-2015 season","year":"2015","unstructured":". 2015.
