May guide retrospective influenza strain analysis; leaves open translation to modern surveillance and vaccine selection.
The study presents a method for designating antigenic components of influenza viruses using agglutination-inhibition tests, revealing homogeneity among 1950-51 A prime strains.
M. R. Hilleman (1951) studied Influenza. Agglutination-inhibition tests with chicken antisera was evaluated on Antigenic patterns of influenza viruses. A method using agglutination-inhibition tests with chicken antisera revealed that influenza A prime strains isolated in 1950-51 formed a remarkably homogeneous group resembling the 1950 FW-1-50 agent.
