  • INFLUENZA VIRUS POPULATIONS, METHODS OF USE AND METHODS OF MAKING THEREOF
    Publication number: 20130156733
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are live attenuated influenza virus compositions for inducing interferon comprising quantified subpopulations of interferon-inducing particles and defective-interfering particles. The live attenuated influenza virus compositions are particularly useful to induce interferon in an individual having or suspected of having a viral infection. Further, by infecting mammalian and avian cells with the live attenuated influenza virus compositions, the compositions optimized for mammalian or avian species can be selected based on the ratio of defective-interfering particles to interferon-inducing particles.
