A reverse genetics rescue system for equine influenza virus and the construction of three NS1 mutant viruses encoding carboxy-terminally truncated NS1 proteins of 73, 99 or 126 amino acids, have been previously described (Quinlivan et al., J. Virology 79, 8431–8439, 2005). These viruses are impaired in their ability to inhibit type I IFN production in vitro and are replication attenuated, thus are candidates for use as a modified live influenza virus vaccine in the horse. One or more of these mutant viruses are safe when administered to horses, and recipient horses when challenged with wild-type influenza have reduced physiological and virological correlates of disease. Vaccination and challenge studies were done in horses, with measurement of pyrexia, clinical signs, virus shedding, and systemic pro-inflammatory cytokines. Aerosol or intranasal inoculation of horses with the viruses produced no adverse effects. Seronegative horses inoculated with the NS1-73 and NS1-126 viruses, but not the NS1-99 virus, shed detectable virus and generated significant levels of antibodies. Following challenge with wild-type influenza, horses vaccinated with NS1-126 virus did not develop fever (>38.5°C), had significantly fewer clinical signs of illness, and significantly reduced quantities of virus excreted for a shorter duration post-challenge compared to unvaccinated controls. Expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β, IL-6, IFNγ, and TNFα was examined by quantitative RT-PCR of mRNA. Mean IL-1β and IL-6 levels were significantly higher in control animals, and were positively correlated with peak viral shedding and pyrexia on Day +2 post-challenge. These data suggest the recombinant NS1 viruses are safe and effective as modified live virus vaccines against equine influenza. This type of reverse genetics-based vaccine can be easily updated by exchanging viral surface antigens to combat the problem of antigenic drift in influenza viruses.
