Reassortant H6 viruses bearing the NA from the indicated virus.
Groups of three ferrets were inoculated intranasally with 107 FFU/ml of the indicated LAIV viruses. Serum was collected 2 to 3 weeks after immunization. The NI titers were determined by NI assay against the H6 reassortants containing the indicated NA test antigen. The HAI titers were determined by HAI assay using turkey RBC and the indicated viruses.
