Abstract excerpt
Live attenuated influenza A virus vaccines are currently produced by the transfer of attenuating genes from a donor virus to new epidemic variants of influenza A virus, with the selection of reassortant viruses that possess the protective antigens (i.e., the two surface glycoproteins) of the epidemic virus and the attenuating genes from the donor virus. The previously studied attenuated donor viruses were...
