Prime-boost immunization of mice with a suboptimal dose of a monovalent pandemic influenza split virus H1N1 A/California/07/2009 vaccine plus KIN1148 protect against a lethal challenge with mouse-adapted influenza virus (A/California/04/2009) and induce an influenza virusspecific IL-10 and Th2 response by T cells derived from lung and lung-draining lymph nodes. Primeboost immunization with vaccine plus KIN1148, but not prime immunization alone, induce antibodies capable of inhibiting influenza virus hemagglutinin and neutralizing viral infectivity. Nevertheless, a single immunization with vaccine plus KIN1148 provide increased protection over vaccine alone and reduce viral load in the lungs after challenge[1].
