Influenza A H1N1 Antigen

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 (PIP021) contains a high concentration of viral antigens as well as some egg proteins from allantoic fluid.
Hemaglutination endpoint assay; 40320 HA Units/ml
Product Details
- Target Species
- Viral
- Product Form
- Inactivated Influenza A H1N1 antigen - liquid
- Preparation
- 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 to harvest. Allantoic fluids are harvested from the eggs and pooled. The antigen preparation is inactivated by gamma radiation.
