Methods and isolation procedures of influenza viruses in vaccine research labs are critical. These procedures are used to obtain a live and infectious virus that can be used for characterization, investigation and vaccine production. In a recent publication, procedures are outlined for the isolation of Swine Influenza A Virus from specimens such as lung or tracheal tissues processed in a tissue homogenizer such as the Geno/Grinder, these are then further studied in Cell Cultures and Embryonated Chicken Eggs.
The article has been published in Springer Protocols (Methods in Molecular Biology).
