a

All numbers are based on the H3 numbering scheme.

b

Lineage- and receptor-specific amino acids are based on previously published sequence analyses (8, 17, 34-36, 38, 48, 49, 51, 61).

c

NA, analysis applicable only to H3 HA analysis.

d

NA, analysis applicable only to H1 HA analysis.

e

NA, residue analyzed only in reference to NGc receptor analysis.

f

NA, residue not applicable to NGc receptor analysis.
