5 Study Goals and Design 5

6 Antibodies that inhibit NA activity correlate with protection against disease Murphy et al., 1972; Monto et al., 1973; Clements et al., 1986; Couch et al., 2013 Schulman and Kilbourne 1969; Sandbulte et al. 2007; Marcelin et al., 2010; etc. Determination of NA inhibition (NI) titers Traditional: thio-barbituric acid (TBA) assay Warren, 1959; Aminoff, 1961 Webster and Laver, 1967 Enzyme linked lectin assay (ELLA) Lambre et al., 1990 Cates et al., 2010 Couzens et al., J Virological Methods,

7 Overview of ELLA to determine NI titers 1. Coat plates with fetuin Protein Sugars Galactose Sialic acid 2. Add in standard amount of antigen (H6N1 or H6N2 whole virus) with/without serum dilutions NA Protein Sugars Galactose Sialic acid 3. Add in PNA-HRPO Protein Sugars Galactose::PNA-HRPO 4. Add in substrate (OPD) Protein Sugars Galactose::PNA-HRPO OPD Signal 7

8 Study Goals Determine the reproducibility of ELLA when conducted in different labs Evaluate the benefit of a serum standard Facilitate establishment of ELLA in new labs Identify ELLA reagents/steps to improve performance 8

9 Study plan Perform the ELLA in different laboratories on a single set of 12 samples; measure NA inhibition titers against N1 of A/BR/59/2007 (H1N1) and N2 of A/UR/716/2007 (H3N2) A single SOP used with either OPD or TMB as substrate; data generated with alternate assays run in parallel could be compared 12 samples representing a range of titers were selected for the study; 1 sample was repeated (within assay variability); assay run on 3 different days by the same operator (intra-lab variability) One sample (transgenic bovine plasma, Sanford) was intended to be used as a standard H6N1 and H6N2 reassortant viruses were BPL-inactivated and used in-house to confirm suitability before distribution 9
