Evidence from the Hong Kong chicken influenza outbreak has made us aware that we are ill prepared to produce conventional egg-grown influenza vaccines in response to a pandemic. This project will use reverse genetics to modify avian or swine influenza viruses, so that they are safe to use and grow well on mammalian cells. An MDCK or Vero cell vaccine will be produced from a highly pathogenic avian virus, modified so that it is attenuated. The vaccine will be evaluated pacifically and clinically. We will also produce a library of reagents from a variety of avian and swine viruses for use in eggs or cell culture vaccine manufacture and develop new techniques for monitoring transmission of animal viruses to man.
