- Native influenza H1N1 antigen preparation is presented as semi-purified allantoic fluid from chicken eggs infected with New Caladonia 20/99 (H1N1) influenza A virus. Influenza is an acute infection of the respiratory tract caused by the Influenza virus; of which there are several different types. Influenza A causes flu in birds and some mammals and is the most virulent of the influenza types; resulting in the most severe disease. Influenza infection in humans causes chills; fever; pharyngitis; muscle pain; headaches; coughing and weakness. The virus is transmitted through the air by coughs or sneezes or through saliva; nasal secretions; faeces and blood. Infection may occur through direct contact with infected bodily fluid or contaminated surfaces. Influenza viruses mutate rapidly; making vaccines less effective from one season to the next.
This particular strain of influenza is a reassortant virus that includes genetic components of the H1N1 influenza pandemic swine flu in a culture-adapted virus that has been selected for its qualities as a vaccine-producing strain. The live reassortant virus has passed safety testing in ferrets; in which it is attenuated for pathogenicity relative to wild-type A/California/4/2009 virus. Because A/California/4/2009 is identified as a variant strain of a pandemic virus; live derivatives must be handled under BSL2+ facilities and procedures.
Native influenza H1N1 antigen preparation contains a high concentration of viral antigens as well as some egg proteins from allantoic fluid. - Purification:
- Influenza strain A/New Caledonia/20/99 (H1N1) cultured in embryonated chicken eggs. Eggs are infected by injection into the allantoic chamber; incubated for 72 hours; and refrigerated overnight prior
