GENE 62 OF OKA VACCINE VIRUS AND METHOD FOR IDENTIFYING VIRUS STRAIN FOR LIVE ATTENUATED VACCINE VIRUS USING THE GENE 62

摘要

The present application provides the gene 62 of Okavaccine virus, which comprises at least with the following basesubstitutions (a) to (d) in the nucleotide sequence of SEQ IDNo. 1: (a) the base A at position 2110 is G; (b) the base A atposition 3100 is G; (c) the base T at position 3818 is C; and(d) the base A at position 4006 is G, and a method for identifyingthe Oka vaccine virus and an attenuated varicella-zoster virusstrain acceptable as virus strain for live attenuated varicellavaccine, by using the gene 62.
