agglutinin molecule can be cleaved by a host ubiquitous 
protease;

the N-terminus of the F1 protein; the term ‘multiple basic 
amino acids’ refers to at least three arginine or lysine 
residues between residues 113 and 116; failure to demonstrate 
the characteristic pattern of amino acid residues as described in 
this point requires characterisation of the isolated virus by a n 
ICPI test; in this definition, amino acid residues are numbered  
from the N-terminus of the amino acid sequence deduced from 
the nucleotide sequence of the F0 gene, 113-116 corresponds 
to residues -4 to -1 from the cleavage site;  ▼B

innocuity, in particular regarding attenuation or inactivation and absence 
of undesired contaminating agents, and on efficacy on behalf of  the 
competent authorities.  
II. Specific criteria  
Live attenuated Newcastle disease vaccines must be prepared fro m a 
Newcastle disease virus strain for which the master seed has be en tested 
and shown to have an intracerebral pathogenicity index (ICPI) o f:
