title: Intracellular stability of the gene encoding influenza virus haemagglutinin.
abstract: The intracellular stability of the genome of noninfectious uv-irradiated influenza virus (A/WSN:H1N1) in dividing MDCK cells was investigated using marker rescue techniques. The haemagglutinin gene could still be rescued by infection with A/X49 (H3N2) at 5 weeks postinoculation; its half-life was 13 days.
