Abstract excerpt
The determination of temperature sensitive (ts) and cold adapted (ca) phenotype for influenza A and B strains has been conducted traditionally using embryonated chicken eggs. As attempts are made to move away from the use of eggs in the manufacturing process of influenza vaccines, it will become useful to develop cell-based assays to support cell culture-based vaccine production. In this study, MDCK cells have...
