Abstract excerpt
Naturally occurring temperature-sensitive (ts) strains have been found in large number in human influenza A viruses of all subtypes (J. Virol. 41 (1982) 353). Further studies have demonstrated that the ts phenotype of these viruses is host-dependent in that they are highly ts in chick embryos and chick embryonic cells, but are ts+ in MDCK cells. Previous studies have located by complementation tests the ts lesion...
