A promising approach to reduce the impact of influenza is the use of an attenuated, live virus as a vaccine. Using reverse genetics, we generated a mutant of strain A/WSN/33 with a modified cleavage site within its hemagglutinin, which depends on proteolytic activation by elastase. Unlike the wild-type, which requires trypsin, this mutant is strictly dependent on elastase. Both viruses grow equally well in cell culture. In contrast to the lethal wild-type virus, the mutant is entirely attenuated in mice. At a dose of 10(5) plaque-forming units, it induced complete protection against lethal challenge. This approach allows the conversion of any epidemic strain into a genetically homologous attenuated virus.
