Rift Valley fever is a prolific infection that affects livestock and humans in Africa. Tetsuro Ikegami and Nandadeva Lokugamage, of the University of Texas Medical Branch, United States, tested the genetic stability of vaccine candidate MP-12, an attenuated form of the virus, through ‘serial passaging’—culturing the virus, establishing a new culture from a sample, then repeating the procedure to determine how the virus mutates in response to successive new environments. The duo found that after 25 ‘passages’, MP-12 reverted a part of attenuation mutations back to its original, pathogenic sequence. Though MP-12 redundantly encodes stable attenuation mutations, it will be important to use a seed lot system to avoid the attenuation profile changes.Nandadeva LokugamageTetsuro IkegamiNature PortfolioarticleImmunologic diseases.
