< Below the assay limit of detection (1:10 serum dilution), GMT - Geometric Mean Titer, ND - not determined

a

Individual MN values are expressed as the reciprocal of the highest dilution that inhibited 100 TCID50 units of the indicated test virus with horse erythrocytes unless otherwise specified.

b

GMT was determined by assigning 1 (Log2) values for samples below the assay limit of detection and subtracting 1 from the final GMT

c

MN assays were performed with chicken erythrocytes

d

Represents reverse genetics (rg) vaccine viruses containing HA and NA surface proteins on A/Puerto/Rico/8/1934 virus backbone
