Against H3wt virus | Against H3ova virus | Against H3wt virus | Against H3ova virus | |
Hemagglutination inhibition | 0/5 | 0/5 | 0/4 | 4/4 1:35 average titer |
MDCK virus neutralization | 0/6 | 0/6 | 0/6 | 3/6 1:100 average titer of positives |
Embryonated hen egg neutralization | 0/5 | 0/5 | 1/4 >1:40 average titer of positives | 4/4 >1:40 average titer |
The hemagglutination inhibition and neutralization tests utilized serum taken at least 7 weeks after i.p. priming with the H1wt and H1ova viruses.
