Cross-protection between different subtypes of influenza A virus has been attributed to heterosubtypic immunity (HSI). Although, HSI can occur in the absence of anti-HA or anti-NA antibodies, HSI seems to be mediated, in part, by cross-reactive antibodies. In this study, we examined the effects of a DNA vaccine expressing an influenza HA fused to three copies of murine C3d of complement (HA–mC3d3). HA–mC3d3elicited heterosubtypic immunity more efficiently than non-fused forms of HA and protected mice from lethal challenge of influenza with different subtypes. Plasmid encoding for various forms of HA were constructed from two influenza strains, A/Puerto Rico/8/34 (H1N1) or A/Aichi/2/68-x31 (H3N2). Vaccinated mice were analyzed for enhancement of anti-HA titers, affinity maturation of antibody, hemagglutinin-inhibition activity, and altered cytokine profiles. The HA–mC3d3–DNA vaccinated mice were protected from heterologous influenza challenge, even though sera from these mice had no viral-neutralizing activity against heterologous virus.
