STRAIN OF FLU VIRUS A/common gull/Altai/804/2011/H16NO-SUBTYPE FOR PRODUCTION OF ANTIGENE-CONTAINING PREPARATION, POLYCLONAL SERUM AND APPLICATION AS CONTROL REFERENCE-SAMPLE WHEN ASSESSING SPECIFICITY OF TEST-SYSTEMS BASED ON POLYMERASE CHAIN REACTION

摘要

FIELD: biotechnologies.;SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the field of microbiology and relates to the strain of flu virus of H16N3-subtype. The strain of bird flu virus A/common gull/Altai/804/2011/H16N3-subtype is described, deposited in the State Collection of Viral Infectons and Rickettsial diseases of the Federal Budget Institution of Science State Science Centre of Virusology and Biotechnology "Vector" under the registration number V-583. The strain was isolated from a common gull (Larus canus). The strain may be used to produce a polyclonal serum to determine affinity of the flu virus to H16-subtype, and also may be used as a control reference sample when assessing specificity of test systems on the basis of PCR.;EFFECT: strain has high antigenic affinity with up-to-date versions of flu virus H16.;3 tbl, 3 ex
