Method: For rgGD17, the
HA and
NA genes from the highly pathogenic A/Guangdong/17SF003/2016 (GD17WT) were initially PCR amplified and cloned into cloning vector pGEM-T Easy (Promega, Madison, WI) for modification, with which we deleted the codon for the multibasic cleavage site RKRT from the
HA gene and generated
K292R (N2 numbering) mutation in
NA to restore the
neuraminidase inhibitor (
NAi) sensitivity.
Result: Therefore, we generated the low-pathogenic A(
H7N9) CVV rgGD17 from the
HPAI GD17WT by removing the multibasic motif in
HA and introducing
K292R in
