  • a Reconstituted vRNP complexes from: human influenza A virus, strain A/PR/8/34; human influenza B virus, strain B/Yamanashi/166/98; and avian influenza A virus, strain A/turkey/England/50-92/1991 with a PB2-627E or PB2-627K residue.

  • b HEK293T cells, human embryonic kidney 293T cells; MDCK cells, Madin-Darby canine kidney cells.

  • c EC50, 50% effective concentration (μM), i.e., compound concentration producing 50% reduction in vRNP-driven firefly reporter signal, estimated at 24 hours after transfection.

  • d CC50, 50% cytotoxic concentration (μM) at 24 hours determined by MTS cell viability assay.

  • e Compound concentration (μM) causing a 1-log10 (EC90) or 2-log10 (EC99) reduction in virus yield at 24 hours postinfection, as determined by real-time RT-PCR.

  • f ND, Not done.
