[Characteristics of incomplete reproduction cycle of ts-mutant of influenza virus A at non-permissive temperature].

: Incomplete reproduction cycle of influenza virus A/134/17/57, the attenuation donor being used for preparation of recombinant vaccine strains, hs been analyzed with the use of molecular biology methods. Virus A/134/17/57 with two mutations in P3, NP and M genes remains capable of synthesis of viral polypeptides that are devoid of ability to be inserted into cellular plasma membrane, when the virus is propagated in MDCK culture at non-permissive temperature. The process is preceded by defects in the process of formation of RNP structures connected, evidently, with deficient synthesis of viral RNA due to mutations in the gene coding for P3 protein.
