By replacing either the early or the late genes of SV40 with a cloned copy of the influenza virus hemagglutinin gene, recombinant viruses were constructed which, in infected cells, express large quantities of hemagglutinin. This glycoprotein, over 108 molecules of which are produced/cell, is identical in MW to authentic influenza virus hemagglutinin, accumulates at the cell [African green monkey kidney CV-1] surface and displays hemabsorbing activity.
