Re-emerging human adenovirus types 14 (Ad14) and 55 (Ad55) have caused severe respiratory diseases and even deaths during recent outbreaks. However, the seroprevalence of neutralizing antibodies (nAbs) in healthy adults, which may reflect previous circulation and help to predict potential outbreaks, remains unclear. In this study, we established micro-neutralizing (MN) assays on the basis of recombinant Ad14 and Ad55 reporter viruses, and we investigated serum nAbs in healthy blood donors from Southern China. We found that the overall seropositive rates were 24.8% and 22.4% for Ad14 and Ad55 nAbs, respectively. The seropositive rates were low in individuals younger than 20, and they gradually increased with age. Ad55-seropositive individuals tended to have high nAb titers (>1000), while low (72-200) and moderate (201-1000) nAb levels were frequently observed in Ad14-seropositive ones. Surprisingly, the seropositive rates and nAb levels were associated with the blood type but not the gender of the blood donors, with type AB individuals displaying higher seropositive rates and nAb levels. Interestingly, a significant positive correlation was observed between Ad14 and Ad55 seroprevalence, and higher titers of nAbs were detected in double-positive individuals compared to single-positive ones. These results clarified the human humoral immune responses against Ad14 and Ad55 and revealed a low level of herd immunity in some subpopulations, which emphasized the importance of monitoring these two highly virulent adenoviruses and reinforced the development of prophylactic vaccines.

重新出现的人类腺病毒14型 (Ad14) 和55型 (Ad55) 在最近的暴发中引起了严重的呼吸系统疾病,甚至死亡。然而,健康成年人中和抗体 (nAbs) 的血清阳性率可能反映了先前的循环并有助于预测潜在的爆发,目前尚不清楚。在这项研究中,我们基于重组Ad14和Ad55报告病毒建立了微中和 (MN) 检测方法,并研究了中国南方健康献血者的血清nAbs。我们发现Ad14和Ad55 nab的总体血清阳性率分别为24.8% 和22.4%。20岁以下的人的血清阳性率较低,并且随着年龄的增长而逐渐增加。Ad55-seropositive个体倾向于具有高nAb滴度 (>1000),而在Ad14-seropositive个体中经常观察到低 (72-200) 和中等 (201-1000) nAb水平。令人惊讶的是,血清阳性率和nAb水平与血型有关,但与献血者的性别无关,而ab型个体的血清阳性率和nAb水平更高。有趣的是,在Ad14和Ad55血清阳性率之间观察到显着的正相关,与单阳性个体相比,在双阳性个体中检测到更高的nab滴度。这些结果阐明了针对Ad14和Ad55的人类体液免疫反应,并揭示了某些亚群中的群体免疫水平较低,这强调了监测这两种高毒性腺病毒的重要性,并加强了预防性疫苗的开发。
