Table 3. Reactivity of FLIC-AB with H5 and H7 subtypes of influenza A viruses.
Subtypes | Strain Name | Reactivity | Clade |
---|---|---|---|
H5N1 | A/Hong Kong/483/1997 | + | 0 |
H5N1 | A/muscovy duck/Vietnam/OIE-559/2011 | + | 1.1 |
H5N1 | A/whooper swan/Hokkaido/1/2008 | + | 2.3.2 |
H5N1 | A/whooper swan/Hokkaido/4/2011 | + | 2.3.2 |
H5N1 | A/peregrine falcon/Hong Kong/810/2009 | + | 2.3.4 |
H7N7 | A/chicken/Netherlands/2586/2003 | + |
