TABLE 2 .
Ability of sera from vaccinated or infected mice to neutralize X31 and PR8 infection of MDCK cellsa
| Mouse vaccination or infection category | Titer (log10) of virus strainb: |
|
|---|---|---|
| PR8 | X31 | |
| PBS | <1 | <1 |
| Split virus | <1 | <1 |
| Split virus + R4Pam2Cys | 3.95 ± 0.4 | <1 |
| PR8 infected | 4.50 ± 0.0 | <1 |
| X31 infected | <1 | 3.52 ± 0.2 |
Viral neutralization tests were performed using sera (n = 5) taken 35 days after vaccination or infection.
Titers (log10) are expressed as the highest average dilution (± standard deviation) that reduced plaque numbers to 50% of the titers obtained in the presence of serum from unvaccinated mice.
