Egg-adaptive mutations in H3N2v vaccine virus enhance egg-based production without loss of antigenicity or immunogenicity

Highlights • We passaged variant influenza A H3N2v virus in eggs to induce egg-adaptive HA mutations. • PR8-based 6 + 2 candidate vaccine viruses (CVVs) with the HA mutations were characterized. • Four sets of HA substitutions retained their immunogenicity and produced high-yield HA. • The HA substi...
