Current influenza vaccine is prepared this way. (b) The shell is perforated using sterile techniques, and a virus preparation is injected into a site selected to grow the viruses. Targets include the allantoic cavity, a fluid-filled sac that functions in embryonic waste removal; the amniotic cavity, a sac that cushions and protects the embryo itself; the chorioallantoic membrane, which functions in embryonic gas exchange; the yolk sac, a membrane that mobilizes yolk for the nourishment of the embryo; and the embryo itself.
