摘要

FIELD: medicine. ^ SUBSTANCE: B/60/Malaysia/04/898 strain actively replicates in growing chicken embryos at optimum temperature 32-33C. It is characterised by thermal sensitivity and cold adaptation. A reassortant has inherited the genes coding surface virus antigens - hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) from an epidemic parent virus. The other six genes code internal non-glycosylated proteins from an attenuation donor. The B/60/Malaysia/04/898 strain is areactogenic for adults and children in intranasal introduction. ^ EFFECT: invention can be used in practical health services for preventing seasonal influenza incidence in adults and children by a live influenza intranasal vaccine of the strain of said influenza virus. ^ 4 tbl
