H5N6亞型禽流感病毒一般只在鳥類中感染并傳播，但2014年以來，H5N6禽病毒在我國出現(xiàn)跨越種間屏障感染人事件。據(jù)世界衛(wèi)生組織統(tǒng)計，迄今為止19例實驗室確診H5N6感染人病例，其中6人死亡，病死率約為32%。在2015年初，廣州醫(yī)科大學(xué)附屬第一醫(yī)院在全球首次成功救治了人感染H5N6患者。近日，呼吸疾病國家重點實驗室在在小鼠動物模型中對廣州H5N6人感染分離株病毒的致病性、體內(nèi)復(fù)制特點、炎癥反應(yīng)進(jìn)行了系統(tǒng)的研究。提示抗禽流感免疫球蛋白可用于救治H5N6感染者，降低死亡率。相關(guān)研究以“Patient-derived avianinfluenza A (H5N6) virus is highly pathogenic in mice but can be effectivelytreated by anti-influenza polyclonal antibodies”為題在線發(fā)表于國際學(xué)術(shù)期刊 Emerging Microbes & Infections上

?研究背景
????? 甲型流感病毒依據(jù)病毒表面的血細(xì)胞凝集素(HA)和神經(jīng)氨酸酶(NA)分為不同亞型，其中HA有18個亞型，NA有9個亞型。通常人類只感染甲流H1N1亞型、H3N2亞型和乙型流感病毒。H5N6亞型禽流感病毒一般只在鳥類中感染并傳播，但2014年以來，H5N6禽病毒在我國出現(xiàn)跨越種間屏障感染人事件。據(jù)世界衛(wèi)生組織統(tǒng)計，迄今為止19例實驗室確診H5N6感染人病例，其中6人死亡，病死率約為32%。2015年初，廣州醫(yī)科大學(xué)附屬第一醫(yī)院在全球首次成功救治了人感染H5N6患者。

ABSTRACT?
Highly pathogenic avian influenza A (H5N6) virus has been circulating in poultry since 2013 and causes sporadicinfections and fatalities in humans. Due to the re-occurrence and continuous evolution of this virus subtype, there is an urgent need to better understandthe pathogenicity of the H5N6 virus and to identify effective preventative and therapeutic strategies. We established a mouse model to evaluate the virulence of H5N6 A/Guangzhou/39715/2014 (H5N6/GZ14), which was isolated from an infected patient. BALB/c mice were inoculated intranasally with H5N6/GZ14 and monitored for morbidity, mortality, cytokine production, lung injury, viral replication, and viral dissemination to other organs. H5N6/GZ14 is highly pathogenic and can kill 50% of mice at a very low infectious dose of 5 plaque-forming units (pfu) Infection with H5N6/GZ14 showed rapid disease progression, viral replication to high titers in the lung, a strongly induced pro-inflammatory cytokine response, and severe lung injury. Moreover, infectious H5N6/GZ14 could be detected in the heart and brain of the infected mice. We also demonstrated that anti-influenzapolyclonal antibodies generated by immunizing rhesus macaques could protect mice from lethal infection. Our results provide insights into the pathogenicity of the H5N6 human isolate.
