Mutation of Influenza A Virus PA-X Decreases Pathogenicity in Chicken Embryos and Can Increase the Yield of Reassortant Candidate Vaccine Viruses
1 Nov 2018
Abstract excerpt
Influenza A virus is a widespread pathogen that affects both humans and a variety of animal species, causing regular epidemics and sporadic pandemics, with major public health and economic consequences. A better understanding of virus biology is therefore important. The primary control measure is vaccination, which for humans mostly relies on antigens produced in eggs from PR8-based viruses bearing the...
