Between 2021 and 2023, HPAI viruses (HPAIVs) of the Goose/Guangdong lineage H5 clade 2.3.4.4b became widespread in wild birds in Norway, and H5N1 and H5N5 viruses were detected in 31 white-tailed eagles (<i>Haliaeetus albicilla</i>, WTEs).

The detection of HPAIV H5N5 in a WTE in February 2022 marked the first recorded occurrence of this subtype in Norway. Since then, the virus has persisted, sporadically being detected in WTEs and other wild bird species. Phylogenetic analyses reveal that at least two distinct incursions of HPAIV H5N1 Eurasian (EA) genotype C affected WTEs, likely introduced by migratory birds from Eurasia and seabirds entering from Western and Central Europe. Some WTE isolates from 2021 to 2022 clustered with those from Canada and Ireland, aligning with the transatlantic spread of H5N1.

KS prevalence varies dramatically, although emergence increases considerably with human immunodeficiency virus -1 (HIV-1) co-infection, making it one of the most common cancers in HIV-1 patients and sub-Saharan African men, even prior to the HIV-1 epidemic in Africa. Studies have shown that neutralizing antibodies exist in HHV-8-infected sera, which are most likely targeted to viral lytic surface glycoproteins, such as glycoprotein K8.1 (gpK8.1) and gHgL. Fifty-eight HHV-8-positive serum samples were tested for the levels of gpK8.1- and gHgL-binding antibodies and <i>in vitro</i> HHV-8-neutralizing capacity. Each sample was then categorized according to the disease status, which included asymptomatic infection, active KS and remission from KS, and the three measured parameters were compared between the disease groups. We show that neutralizing capacity in infected patient sera increases with remission of KS. Interestingly, antibodies targeting gpK8.1, but not gHgL, were also found to be increased during active disease and remission. Comparison of neutralizing capacity and antibody levels on an individual patient basis revealed that antibody levels, primarily targeting gHgL, are correlated with serum neutralizing response in sub-lingual Kaposi sarcoma (SLK) cells. Adsorption of gHgL or gpK8.1 antibodies from human sera removed the neutralizing response in SLK cells, although some non-specific removal of antibodies from the sera means that this result should be interpreted with caution. Taken collectively, these results suggest that glycoproteins, such as gHgL, are targets for neutralizing antibodies. Furthermore, our data imply that recovery from KS is associated with increased neutralizing capacity, suggesting that neutralizing antibodies may contribute to KS resolution. However, it is vital for further work to be completed in order to elucidate this relationship.</p>","PeriodicalId":15880,"journal":{"name":"Journal of General Virology","volume":"105 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142675893","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
