简介:摘要目的评估新型冠状病毒灭活疫苗免疫人群和小鼠血清对变异株(Delta株和Beta株)的交叉中和活性。方法各取20份人群常规两剂基础免疫血清、三剂加强免疫血清和两剂小鼠免疫血清作为实验材料,采用新型冠状病毒原型株、Delta和Beta变异株3株病毒,在生物安全三级实验室中采用微量中和试验检测中和抗体。通过分析不同稀释度血清对固定剂量病毒的中和活性,计算血清阳性率和抗体几何平均滴度(geometric mean titer, GMT),评估免疫血清的交叉中和水平。结果人免疫血清对不同变异株的阳性率均大于95%;基础免疫后,接种者血清对原型株、Delta和Beta变异株的中和抗体GMT分别为109、41和15,与原型株比较,针对Delta和Beta变异株的中和抗体GMT分别下降2.7倍和7.3倍;加强免疫后,接种者血清对原型株、Delta和Beta株的中和抗体GMT分别为446、190和86,与原型株比较,针对Delta和Beta变异株的中和抗体GMT分别下降2.3倍和5.2倍。小鼠免疫血清对不同变异株的阳性率均为100%;对原型株、Delta和Beta变异株的中和抗体GMT分别为2 037、862和408,与原型株比较,针对Delta和Beta变异株的中和抗体GMT分别下降2.4倍和5.0倍。结论新型冠状病毒灭活疫苗免疫后的人群和小鼠血清均可对Delta和Beta变异株产生一定水平的中和保护,且人群加强免疫后可产生更高水平的中和抗体和交叉中和抗体,为该疫苗的临床应用和保护效果评估提供了重要参考。
简介:美国加州Beta油田与我国辽东湾SZ36-1油田具有相似的特点。Beta油田具油稠(平均比重0.96)、埋深适中、含油井段长、储层疏松易出砂等特点。壳牌石油公司采用了防砂系统,电潜泵采油,注水保持压力以及多井槽、弯导管平台钻井等工艺措施,取得了较好的效益、笔者通过Beta油田与SZ36-1油田的对比,对开发SZ36-1油田试验区开发井网、完井工艺、采油方式以及钻井平台选型等,提出了建议.
