The molecular changes in the hemagglutinin (HA) of influenza B virus associated with adaptation to growth in eggs were now identified. A specific glycosylation site at the distal tip of the HA of influenza B virus grown exclusively in mammalian cell culture is lost or altered during egg adaptation. Since the HA functions in adsorption of virus to cells, it is concluded that removal or modification of an oligosaccharide structure at this position is required for influenza B virus to attach to and infect the allantois cells of the egg and that this has important implications for the antigenic configuration of the molecule.
