The live attenuated hepatitis A virus vaccine H2 strain was developed by passaging a wild-type H2w isolate in cell cultures. Currently, the mechanism underlying its attenuation phenotype remain largely unknown. In this study, we generated a full-length infectious cDNA clone of the H2 strain using in-fusion techniques. The recovered H2 strain (H2ic) from the cDNA clone exhibited an efficient replication in both the hepatoma cell line Huh7.5.1 and the 2BS cell line used for vaccine production, similar to the parental H2 strain.
