Abstract excerpt
Seven influenza A (H3N2) high-yielding vaccine candidate strains were examined. Antigenic analysis revealed that 5 of the strains could be distinguished antigenically from their corresponding wild type parent viruses. Comparative sequence data for the HA1 domains of the HA (hemagglutinin) genes for these 5 high-yielding viruses and the corresponding wild type parents demonstrated one to three amino acid...
