Molecular signature of high yield (growth) influenza a virus reassortants prepared as candidate vaccine seeds.
<h4>Background</h4>Human influenza virus isolates generally grow poorly in embryonated chicken eggs. Hence, gene reassortment of influenza A wild type (wt) viruses is performed with a highly egg adapted donor virus, A/Puerto Rico/8/1934 (PR8), to provide the high yield reassortant (HYR)...
