STRAIN OF INFLUENZA VIRUS OF A /HERRING GULL/MONGOLIA/454/08/ H13N8-SUBTYPE USED IN OBTAINING ANTIGEN-CONTAINING SUBSTRATE AND SERUM FOR DIAGNOSTIC PURPOSES

摘要

FIELD: medicine. ^ SUBSTANCE: strain of bird flu of A/Herring gull/Mongolia/454/08/ H13N8-subtype was deposited in Collection of microorganisms of Federal State Institution of Science "State research centre of virology and biotechnology "Vector" Rospotrebnadzor under registration number V-436 and is used in obtaining antigen-containing substrate and serum for diagnostic purposes. Claimed strain can be used for serodiagnostics of influenza of H13-subtype in RHAI, as component of panel of polyclonal serums to different subtypes of influenza A virus (H1-16) for typing versions of influenza virus newly isolated from nature in reaction of hemagglutination inhibition (RHAI), as well as for identification of antibodies to virus of H13-subtype influenza in serums of wild animal blood for estimation of population immunity to virus of said subtype influenza in RHAI. ^ EFFECT: improvement of strain properties. ^ 2 tbl, 3 ex
