FIELD: medicinal virology. SUBSTANCE: vaccine strain A/47/Peking/92/3 is a reassortant obtained by crossing epidemic virus A/Peking/32/92 (H3N2) with cold-adapted temperature-sensitive virus A/Leningrad/134/47/57 (H2N2) - attenuation donor that is harmless for adult and children. Strain is deposited in GISK at N 104. Strain A/47/Peking/92/3 multiplicates actively in developing chick embryos at optimal temperature 32-34 C. Reassortant strain inherited two genes encoding surface proteins (hemagglutinin and neuraminidase) from epidemic virus and six genes encoding nonglycolized proteins from attenuation donor. Strain A/47/Peking/92/3 (H3N2) is nonreactive for children of age 3-15 years at intranasal administration route. EFFECT: vaccine strain indicated above. 1 tbl
