Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) Diversity of influenza A HA. Phylogenetic tree of IAV HAs (left). Timeline of influenza H1N1 and H3N2 circulation; symbols represent strains used in this study (middle). Pairwise identity of HAs from viruses used in this study mapped onto structures of HA [Protein Data Bank (PDB) 3LZG and 4FNK] (right). ( B ) Neutralization potencies determined by microneutralization for down-selected antibodies against a panel of IAVs. Strains are indicated as in (A). H1N1 strains: A/WSN/1933, A/USSR/90/1977, A/Memphis/4/1987, A/Massachusetts/1/1990, A/Beijing/262/1995, A/New Caledonia/20/1999, A/Solomon Islands/3/2006, A/New York/08-1326/2008, A/California/07/2009, A/Michigan/45/2015, and A/Sydney/5/2021. H3N2 strains: A/Aichi/2/1968, A/Bilthoven/1761/1976, A/Beijing/353/1989, A/Johannesburg/33/1994, A/Brisbane/8/1996, A/Fujian/411/2002, A/Wisconsin/67/2005, A/Perth/16/2009, A/Switzerland/9715293/2013, and A/Kansas/14/2017. Neutralization assays were performed in technical duplicate. N.N., non-neutralizing. ( C ) ELISA binding reactivity at 10 or 1 μg/ml to A/Swine/Henan/SN13/2018 or A/Canine/Hainan/79/2019 (left) and BLI-based antibody competition with the indicated antibodies (right).
Article Snippet: Briefly, His-tagged H1N1 A/California/04/2009 full-length trimer Y97F (Sino Biological, catalog no. 11055-V08B1) was mixed in 4:1 molar ratios with SA-allophycocyanin (APC; Invitrogen) and SA-phycoerythrin (PE; Invitrogen) whereas A/Darwin/6/2021 full-length soluble trimer and A/Hong Kong/1/1968 head trimer (see below) were mixed in 4:1 molar ratios with SA-PE (Invitrogen) and SA-APC (Invitrogen), respectively, and were incubated for 20 min on ice.
