Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Methods for producing reassortant viruses are provided wherein the transcription and/or translation of the hemagglutinin and/or neuraminidase genes are suppressed.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A culture comprising: host cells infected with a first influenza viral strain and a second influenza viral strain, wherein the host cells are in contact with a nucleic acid inhibitory agent that preferentially reduces the transcription and/or translation of one or more surface antigens of the first or the second influenza viral strain. 2. The culture of claim 1 , wherein the culture is free of animal derived products. 3. The culture of claim 1 , wherein the culture is free of added antibodies to the one or more surface antigens. 4. The culture of claim 1 , wherein the nucleic acid inhibitory agent is a synthetic antisense oligomer. 5. The culture of claim 1 , wherein the nucleic acid inhibitory agent is a phosphorothioate oligomer (PSO). 6. The culture of claim 1 , wherein the nucleic acid inhibitory agent is a phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligomer (PMO). 7. The culture of claim 1 , wherein the nucleic acid inhibitory agent is selected from the group consisting of: short interfering RNAs (siRNA), double-stranded RNAs (dsRl\fA), micro-RNAs (miRNA), short hairpin RNAs (shRNA), and small interfering DNAs (siDNA). 8. The culture of claim 1 , wherein the culture is an ernbryonated hen egg. 9. The culture of claim 1 , wherein the host cells are mammalian cells or avian cells. 10. The culture of claim 1 , wherein the influenza surface antigens are HA and/or NA.
