Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Annual seasonal and pandemic influenza vaccines need to be produced in a very tight time frame. Haemagglutinin (HA) is the major immunogenic component of influenza vaccines, and there is a lot of interest in improving candidate vaccine viruses. OBJECTIVES: It has been shown elsewhere that mutations introduced in the non-coding region of influenza genome segments can upregulate protein expression. Our...
