MicroRNA-mediated species-specific attenuation of influenza A virus

Engineering microRNA response elements for a mammalian-ubiquitous microRNA directly into the influenza A virus nucleoprotein coding sequence attenuates the virus in mice while leaving growth in embryonated chicken eggs intact, yielding live attenuated vaccine candidates for H1N1 and H5N1.
