Table 2. mAb neutralization of B/Victoria escape mutants.

Virus1 mAb2
BR5A1 BR8E12 BR7B7 CR2F11
B/Brisbane + + + +
5A1v (K203R) - - - -

1 Each virus was titrated and diluted to approximately 500 pfu/ml and incubated with mAb concentrations from 80 to 0.31 μg/ml for incubation with mAb.

2 Each mAb completely neutralized B/Brisbane at concentrations between 1.25–5 μg/ml (scored + in the Table); escape mutants requiring a 10-fold or greater concentration of mAb for neutralization (relative to B/Brisbane neutralization) were scored negative (resistant to mAb neutralization).
