This was an open label, single arm, Phase IV study of longitudinal immunologic responses to influenza vaccine in healthy adult participants, with the aim of enrolling up to 70 participants. This study enrolled males and non-pregnant females, 18-49 years old, inclusive. The participants were screened at enrollment with a history and physical exam and laboratory testing to ensure they were healthy enough to participate. Total enrollment was 60 participants. Qualifying participants were vaccinated with an FDA approved seasonal inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV) according to the package insert. The study enrolled a total 60 participants. The primary objective of the study was to characterize HA-specific plasmablasts and memory B cells after influenza vaccination. Note: Due to the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, all non-essential research was halted in mid-March 2020. New enrollments were placed on hold for this study. Follow-up visits were also halted, which impacted the timing of participants' subsequent follow-up visits. Five participants had their Day 180 visits halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

This information will be obtained verbally from the patient. - If female, active pregnancy or breast-feeding or plans to become pregnant during study participation. - Chronic medical conditions that cause immunodeficiency or that require medications which could alter immune function such as immunosuppressants and immunoenhancers. - Have any medical disease or condition that, in the opinion of the site principal investigator or appropriate sub-investigator, is a contraindication to study participation. This includes any chronic medical disease or condition, defined as persisting 3 months (defined as 90 days) or longer, that would place the subject at an unacceptable risk of injury, render the subject unable to meet the requirements of the protocol, or may interfere with the evaluation of responses or the subject's successful completion of this study - Have an acute illness, as determined by the site principal investigator or appropriate sub-investigator, within 72 hours prior to study vaccination.

Secondary | Function of Human Influenza-specific Monoclonal Antibodies Assessed by Virus Neutralization Assay | Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells in 96-well plates were infected in duplicate for 5 hours with H1N1 influenza virus (strain A/Michigan/45/2015) that had been pre-incubated for 15 minutes at 37 degrees with influenza monoclonal antibodies. Pre-incubations were performed using serial 2-fold dilutions of each monoclonal antibody, beginning at a concentration of 30 micrograms per milliliter. Virus was used at a dose sufficient to yield 5% infection in the absence of antibody. Infection was assessed after 5 hours in methanol-permeabilized cells by staining with an influenza nucleoprotein-specific mouse antibody (HB65), then phycoerythrin (PE)-conjugated anti-mouse IgG, followed by identification of PE-positive cells by flow cytometry. The 50% neutralizing titer reported is equivalent to the lowest monoclonal antibody concentration that resulted in a greater than or equal to 2-fold reduction in viral infection relative to the no-antibody control. | Day 7 | |
Secondary | Function of Human Influenza-specific Monoclonal Antibodies Assessed by Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) | Influenza-specific mAbs were assessed for HA binding by ELISA using recombinant HA protein from H1N1 strain A/California/07/2009. 50 ng of HA were coated per well in Maxisorp ELISA plates and serial dilutions of mAb were added. The concentration of each mAb that gave 50% maximal binding (EC50) was determined. | Day 7 | |
Secondary | Function of Human Influenza-specific Monoclonal Antibodies Assessed by Hemagglutination Inhibition (HAI) Assay | The HAI titer for each antibody was determined using the World Health Organization (WHO) standard protocol using H1N1 strain A/Michigan/45/2015. | Day 7 | |
