Table 6. Cross-reactive HI and neutralizing antibody responses to A/Sydney virus after two doses of the A/Victoria vaccine.

Item Antibody responses Week Seruma Nasal washb
GMT (Mean geometric increase) HI antibody 0 21.2 (1.00) 13.6 (1.00)
    6 30.5 (1.44) 22.2 (1.63)
  Neutralizing antibody 0 160.0 (1.00) 23.0 (1.00)
    6 233.2 (1.46) 48.7 (2.12)

a Serum HI and neutralization titers of < 1:10 were considered negative and arbitrarily assigned a titer of 1:5. b Nasal wash HI and neutralization titers were determined using concentrated nasal wash samples containing 1 mg/ml total protein. Nasal HI and neutralization titers of < 1:20 were considered negative and arbitrarily assigned a titer of 1:10.
