In our previous study, we prepared a synthetic peptide vaccine (46F/HA127-133/54A) against influenza strain A/Aichi/2/68 (H3N2) virus by introducing haemagglutinin (HA) 127-133 to an I-A(b,d) binding component that consisted of residues 43-46 and 54-58 of an I-A(b,d) binding peptide, 46F50V54A. This hybrid peptide vaccine induced considerable immunological responses against A/Aichi/2/68 as well as against the peptide vaccine in I-A(b) mice. In the present study, we have attempted to increase the immunogenicity of the peptide vaccine by introducing HA peptides of various lengths into the I-A(b,d) binding components consisting of residues 43-46 and 54-58 or 43-47 and 53-58 of 46F50V54A. We demonstrate here that, among the peptide vaccines prepared, 46F/HAI27-133/54A (18 mer) consisting of HA127-133 and the I-A(b,d) binding component constructed from 43-47 and 53-58 of 46F50V54A induces the most vigorous T-cell responses and neutralizing antibodies against A/Aichi/2/68 in both I-A(b) and I-A(d) mice.
