Comparison of parameter values for human and MDCK cells in a hollow-fiber system

Parameters

System Model tEa (95% CI) 1/δb (95% CI) R0c (95% CI)
Human d simple 6.0 h (3.9–9.2 h) 11 (6.6–19)
eclipse 6.0 h (4.6–7.9 h) 4.6 h (2.8–7.5 h) 22 (10–46)

HFe simple 13 h (11–16 h) 11 (7.5–19)
eclipse 3.2 h (0.041–12 h) 13 h (6.9–16 h) 36 (10–120)
delay 0.22 h (0.0028–1.3 h) 13 h (11–16 h) 13 h (9.5–25)
a

Length of the eclipse phase where tE = 1/k (eclipse) or τ (delay).

b

Length of time over which infected cells produce virions.

c

Basic reproductive number.

d

Averaged results for infection of 6 human volunteers with inuenza A/HK/123/77 (H1N1) from Baccam et al. (2006).

e

Results from the hollow-fiber (HF) system as per Table 2.
