| A/New Caledonia/20/99 (H1N1) | NC99 | 1024 | 9.1 | 149 |
| A/South Dakota/6/07 (H1N1) | SD07 | 1024 | 9.0 | 126 |
| A/California/7/09 (pH1N1) | CA09 | 1024 | 8.6 | 263 |
| A/HongKong/213/03 (H5N1) | HK03 | 1024 | 8.7 | 296 |
| A/Panama/2007/99 (H3N2) | Pan99 | 1024 | 9.0 | 79 |
| A/California/07/04 (H3N2) | CA04 | 1024 | 9.1 | 97 |
| A/Uruguay/716/07 (H3N2) | Uru07 | 1024 | 8.9 | 75 |
Each virus was adjusted to HA titer of 1024 and virus titer was determined by plaque assay. NA activity was determined by the miniaturized colorimetric assay using fetuin substrate.
NA activity was defined as the reciprocal of virus dilution at which the OD550 value is 1.0. The values are the average of two independent experiments.
