*Antibodies were measured in a nucleoprotein-blocking ELISA and in the hemagluttination-inhibition (HI) assay at different days postinoculation. +, antibodies detected; –, antibodies not detected.
†HI titers are presented as the reciprocal to the highest serum dilutions completely inhibiting agglutination of chicken erythrocytes by influenza (H5N1) virus.
