Abstract excerpt
A human influenza A virus X-31 (high-yielding strain) was cold-adapted for possible future use as live attenuated vaccine. Mutant influenza viruses were selected during successive serial passage in embryonated hens' eggs at progressively lower sub-optimal temperature (30, 27 degrees C followed by 24 degrees C). The cold-passaged mutant exhibited both temperature-sensitivity (ts) and cold-adapted (ca) phenotypes....
