| Abstract | Temperature-sensitive (ts) reassortant vaccine strains derived from the A/Udorn/72 ts-1A2 donor virus were not sufficiently stable genetically in humans. We therefore sought to produce a new, more stable donor virus. We had previously identified a stable ts virus with a ts P3 gene and in the current study identified another relatively stable single-lesion ts virus with a ts mutation in the NP gene. A new ts reassortant virus was constructed by mating these two single mutants and by isolating three reassortant progeny, clones 20, 53, and 55, that contained both a ts P3 and a ts NP gene. These reassortant progeny possessed a 37 to 38°C shutoff temperature and were as restricted in their replication in hamster lungs as the A/Udorn/72 ts-1A2 virus. All isolates from the lungs and nasal turbinates of hamsters were temperature sensitive. An in vitro stress test was used to determine whether the new ts P3 ts NP reassortant virus would undergo loss of its ts phenotype after replication at semipermissive temperature. Clone 20 and 55 reassortants underwent progressive loss of their ts phenotype in vitro, although at a rate slightly less than that of the A/Udorn/72 ts-1A2 virus. The level of genetic stability after replication in vivo was assessed in cyclophosphamide-treated hamsters in which virus replication continued for up to 15 days. Again, both the A/Udorn/72 ts-1A2 and the new ts P3 ts NP reassortant clone 55 manifested a progressive loss of temperature sensitivity after 7 days of replication. Clone 55 virus lost temperature sensitivity significantly less rapidly than the A/Udorn/72 ts-1A2 virus. These results indicated that, although the new ts P3 ts NP reassortant virus was more stable than the A/Udorn/72 ts-1A2 virus, it nevertheless underwent progressive loss of temperature sensitivity after replication in vitro and in vivo. Therefore, it does not appear to be a satisfactory donor virus. This experience plus that gained earlier with other ts mutants of influenza A virus suggest that influenza A virus mutants that rely solely upon their ts phenotype for attenuation are unlikely to exhibit the phenotypic stability required of a vaccine virus. Other genetic techniques are needed to produce more stable influenza A virus strains. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
