The invention relates to an efficient
screening method and application of an influenza
virus candidate
vaccine strain, and the efficient
screening method comprises the following steps: (1) diluting a mother generation influenza
virus to be screened by using a
virus maintenance solution, adding the diluted mother generation influenza virus into a culture plate containing
canine kidney cells, adsorbing the
canine kidney cells by the influenza virus, and discarding a virus solution in the culture plate; (2) covering the surfaces of the cells with a maintenance medium in a
liquid state, cooling and solidifying the maintenance medium, and inversely placing the maintenance medium in an
incubator to
culture viruses; and (3) selecting virus spots, mixing the selected virus spots with a
buffer solution, inoculating the obtained mixture into
chick embryos and / or
canine kidney cells, and culturing to obtain the candidate
vaccine strain of the influenza virus. The method provided by the invention is simple and easy to operate, short in time consumption, low in cost, few in passage times and not easy to mutate, and can achieve the purpose of quickly and effectively screening out
influenza virus vaccine candidate strains with excellent growth characteristics from mother generation virus seeds in a short time.
