Current methods for detecting influenza A subtype H5 virus, for example cell culture, haemagglutination-inhibition, fluorescent antibody and enzyme immunoassay, and reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) may have the disadvantages of low sensitivity and low specificity. Furthermore, such methods are relatively difficult to use, and may not be suitable for routine detection on a daily basis. The kit for detecting H5 virus of this invention may provide a user-friendly alternative that is relatively more sensitive and specific to H5 virus. The detection kit utilizes two specially designed primers A and B for the replication of H5 virus, and a specific capture probe for immobilizing the amplified viral RNA. An additional primer C is also designed for the detection of pathogenic H5 virus. The detection of H5 virus by the detection kit may be accomplished within one day if desired.

Hemagglutination (HA) and hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) functional assays remain important instruments of analysis of virus-cell interaction and protecting efficacy of virus-specific antibodies and sera. However, they demonstrate limited sensitivity towards many viruses, and require significant volumes of viruses, erythrocytes, sera, and antibodies. The present invention comprises new and significantly more sensitive versions of the HA and HAI assays based on observing agglutination on activated surfaces of specifically opsonized plates and ELISA plates rather than in solution. A version of the new assay that uses ELISA plates additionally allows characterizing the affinity of functional antibodies in the tested sera and fluids, which is not possible in the classical HAI assay. The methods of the present invention can also be used to improve the sensitivity of agglutination methods based on latex beads and to develop agglutination methods using target cells other than erythrocytes.

The invention concerns nucleotides vaccines encoding influenza proteins with few or no glycosylation sites. Since these first introductions of pandemic influenzas the viruses have drifted, accumulating mutations at antigenic sites, but also the N-glycosylation pattern has changed during the drifted years, accumulating N-linked glycosylation sequons that help mask the antigenic sites for recognition by the host immune system. These “naked” initial haemagglutinins induce a broad cross reactivity against widely drifted influenza subtypes. The origin of the DNA or RNA can be both pandemic influenza strains, which codes for proteins which have a naturally low content of glycosylation sites and/or DNA or RNA from non-pandemic influenza strains where the nucleotides have been mutated or changed so it encodes for proteins with less or no glycosylation sites.
