Analysis of genome composition and reactogenicity of recombinants of cold-adapted and virulent virus strains. 1981

Y Z Ghendon, and A I Klimov, and G I Alexandrova, and F I Polezhaev

Temperature-sensitive (ts) mutations occurring in three genes, 1, 2, and 7, and 1, 5 and 7 were found in two cold-adapted (ts) attenuated influenza virus strains A/Leningrad/9/37/46 (H0N1) and A/Leningrad/134/17/57 (H2N2) respectively. The recombinants, obtained by crossing these cold-adapted strains with virulent influenza virus strains, had different genome structures and inherited from one to six genes from the cold-adapted parents. Tests of reactogenicity of recombinants in volunteers showed all the recombinants to be non-reactogenic irrespective of the number of genes inherited from the cold-adapted parent.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009154 Mutation Any detectable and heritable change in the genetic material that causes a change in the GENOTYPE and which is transmitted to daughter cells and to succeeding generations. Mutations
D009980 Influenza A virus The type species of the genus ALPHAINFLUENZAVIRUS that causes influenza and other diseases in humans and animals. Antigenic variation occurs frequently between strains, allowing classification into subtypes and variants. Transmission is usually by aerosol (human and most non-aquatic hosts) or waterborne (ducks). Infected birds shed the virus in their saliva, nasal secretions, and feces.
