a

Antiviral activity was assessed in MDCK cells by a modified microneutralization assay followed by ELISA. Values are means ± SEs for at least three independent determinations. 

b

The second strain in each pair is the reference strain of influenza A virus used for the antigenic subtyping of the NA of the new influenza isolates.
