17 Why did not NIID officially report the cases in Kochi prefecture? 17

18 Why did not NIID officially report the cases in Kochi prefecture? Kochi s lab; A total of 21 influenza B viruses were isolated using MDCK cells between January and June of NIID; 21 B viruses were tested in an NA inhibition assay to determine sensitivity to the NAIs (Oseltamivir/Peramivir/Zanamivir/Laninamivir). 18

19 Why did not NIID officially report the cases in Kochi prefecture? Kochi s lab; A total of 21 influenza B viruses were isolated using MDCK cells between January and June of NIID; 21 B viruses were tested in an NA inhibition assay to determine sensitivity to the NAIs (Oseltamivir/Peramivir/Zanamivir/Laninamivir). Of the 21 viruses, 4 exhibited increased IC50 to NA inhibitors 19

20 Why did not NIID officially report the cases in Kochi prefecture? We could not recover the resistant B viruses from the same original clinical specimens on MDCK cells at NIID. In addition, mutations in NA associated with NAIs resistance were not detected in the clinical specimens by pyrosequencing. 20

21 Why did NIID not officially report the cases in Kochi prefecture? We could not recover the resistant B viruses from the same original clinical specimens on MDCK cells at NIID. In addition, mutations in NA associated with NAIs resistance were not detected in the clinical specimens by pyrosequencing. The resistant B viruses were present in very low proportions in the clinical specimens and preferentially propagated only in MDCK cells at the local lab 21

33 Summary The resistant B virus, B/KOCHI/59/2011, isolated in MDCK cells at the local lab exhibited increased IC50 to NA inhibitors. The resistant B virus possessed a mutation (G140R) not previously associated with NAIs resistance. G140 is far from the NA active site and the framework. The resistant B virus possessing the G140R mutation was not recovered on MDCK cells at the NIID. The G140R mutation was not detected in the clinical specimens by pyrosequencing. 33

34 Conclusion: The resistant B virus with the G140R mutation was present in very low proportions and preferentially propagated only in MDCK cells at the local lab Comments: Proper maintenance of MDCK cell cultures is important for precision surveillance and monitoring for the emergence of antiviral resistance 34
