Values were from at least three separate experiments.
Determined by FACS analysis as described in Materials and Methods.
Defined as the binding of avian red blood cells to monolayers of cells transfected with wild-type or mutant HN cDNAs. Binding was quantitated by measuring the hemoglobin released after lysis of the attached red blood cells.
