Abstract

Analysis of the RNA migration pattern of a high-yielding influenza virus recombinant, X-53, used in vaccine production, reveals that only the two genes coding for hemagglutinin and neuraminidase antigens were derived from the "swine" influenza virus parent, A/New Jersey/1176, while six were acquired from the A/PR/8/34 (HON1) parent, donor of the high yield characteristic.
