Abstract
The present invention discloses methods for producing and/or propagating virus particles, such as influenza virus particles, that are present in a virus isolate obtained from an infected subject by contacting a host cell with a virus particle and culturing the cell under conditions conducive to propagation of the virus particle. The invention also provides a method for selective propagation of a set of virus particles, such as influenza virus particles present in an influenza isolate, which have an affinity for receptors comprising a specific glycosylation residue.
