Figure 2. Replication kinetics of recombinant H7N9 viruses in human cells.

Figure 2

Confluent monolayers of the cell lines were inoculated with recombinant viruses carrying mutations in the PB2 gene of the A/Anhui/1/2013 virus. Culture supernatants were harvested from human type II alveolar epithelial cells (A549) at 0, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84 and 96 hours post-inoculation (hpi) at 33 °C (a) and 37 °C (b), respectively. Virus titers were determined by TCID50 assays using MDCK cells. Results are presented as mean ± SD of three repeated experiments. rgAH1-KD (wild type virus carrying PB2-627K and 701D), rgAH1-KN (with PB2-627K and 701N), and rgAH1-EN (with PB2-627E and 701N). *p < 0.05.
