*SIV, swine influenza virus.
†Phylogenetic lineage of the hemagglutinin gene: c, classical swine; hu, human; av, avian.
‡Infection with swine/Belgium/1/98 (H1N1), swine/Gent/7625/99 (H1N2), or swine/Flanders/1/98 (H3N2).
§Antibody titers <10 in all pigs.
¶Only the influenza (H1N1) vaccine component is shown. The first 3 vaccines are bivalent (subtypes H1N1, H3N2); the fourth is trivalent (subtypes H1N1, H3N2, H1N2).
#Infection with swine/Belgium/1/98 (H1N1).
**Each individual pig was hyperimmunized with a different European SIV isolate: subtype H1N1 viruses were swine/Finistère/2899/82, swine/Belgium/1/98, and swine/Gent/132/2005; subtype H1N2 viruses were swine/Scotland/410440/94, swine/Gent/7625/99, and swine/Gent/177/2002; subtype H3N2 viruses were swine/Gent/1/84, swine/Flanders/1/98, and swine/Gent/131/2005.
