PG - e28345 LID - 10.1002/jmv.28345 [doi] AB - The balance of the segmented genome derived from naturally occurring influenza A viruses (IAVs) is delicate and vulnerable to foreign insertions, thus most reporter IAVs up to date are generated using the backbone of the laboratory-adapted strains. In this study, we constructed a reporter influenza A/H3N2 virus (A/NY-HiBiT) which was derived from a clinical isolate, by placing a minimized HiBiT tag to the N-terminus of the viral nuclear-export protein (NEP). Here, we show that this 11-amino acid HiBiT tag did not adversely impact the viral genome balance, and the recombinant A/NY-HiBiT virus maintains its relative stability. Moreover, the replication profile of the HiBiT-tagged virus can be measured by a simple Nano-Glo assay, providing a robust high-throughput screening (THS) platform. We used this platform to evaluate a collection of the pre-purified fractions which were derived from rare Chinese medicinal materials, and we identified three fractions, including wild Trametes robiniophila (50% methanol fraction), Ganoderma (water fraction), and wild Phellinus igniarius (ethyl acetate fraction), as potent anti-IAV actives. Our results demonstrate that this IAV reporter can be used as a powerful HTS platform for antiviral development. CI - (c) 2022 Wiley Periodicals LLC.
