A feature selection model identifies early blood transcripts predicting vaccine induced protection against influenza (HA PR8 antigen)


ABSTRACT: Seasonal influenza viruses cause an annual mortality of 300,000 to 600,000. Influenza viruses further give rise to pandemics which may cause millions of deaths. Vaccination is the most important measure to protect the population. However, non- or low responders to influenza vaccines are common and found to account for approximately 10% of vaccinees. Here, we investigated the use of early transcriptional data to predict influenza vaccine effectiveness. Mice were vaccinated with a single dose of influenza HA from the A/Puerto Rico/8/1934 (PR8) strain, administered alone or formulated in different adjuvants, and blood samples were collected for single-cell RNA sequencing at day 4 post-immunization. A feature selection model, based on random forest algorithms, was developed to identify vaccine-induced genes linked to protection from influenza challenge using the homologous PR8 strain. Several genes were consistently associated with disease severity, with some genes correlating positively and others negatively with disease outcome. The model also predicted the disease severity in an independent experiment using a heterologous challenge, demonstrating its robustness. These findings highlight the potential of using early biomarkers to identify non- or low responders to vaccination. Biomarkers may also guide vaccine studies, potentially optimizing vaccine development and reducing development costs.
