MedImmune, Inc. (Gaithersburg, MD, www.medimmune.com), has licensed its proprietary reverse genetics intellectual property to Novartis (Basel, Switzerland, www.novartisvaccines.com), to support the development and construction of new vaccine strains to produce inactivated human seasonal, pre-pandemic, and pandemic influenza vaccines. By using reverse genetics, viruses like influenza can be generated from segments of DNA. For prospective pandemic influenza vaccines, reverse genetics can be a useful technology because the process does not require manufacturers to work directly with potentially highly infectious pandemic strains, such as H5N1, rather only segments of the virus's genome.
