Replication of North American reassortant and endemic swine influenza viruses on swine testicle (ST) cells and in ferrets. A) The growth of 6 endemic swine viruses and 3 reassortant viruses (sw/MN/239105/09, sw/MN/239106/10, and sw/NC/239108/10) from 2009–2010 were analyzed in vitro. One curve corresponds to 1 isolate. Black lines and symbols indicate swine pandemic influenza reassortant viruses; red lines and symbols indicate swine triple reassortant (TR) influenza viruses. The progeny viruses

Figure 3. Replication of North American reassortant and endemic swine influenza viruses on swine testicle (ST) cells and in ferrets. A) The growth of 6 endemic swine viruses and 3 reassortant viruses (sw/MN/239105/09, sw/MN/239106/10, and sw/NC/239108/10) from 2009–2010 were analyzed in vitro. One curve corresponds to 1 isolate. Black lines and symbols indicate swine pandemic influenza reassortant viruses; red lines and symbols indicate swine triple reassortant (TR) influenza viruses. The progeny viruses released from infected ST cultures were collected at the indicated time points and titrated in ST cells by performing a 50% tissue culture infectious dose (TCID50) assay. Negative TCID50 titers were given the value 0.5; log10 TCID50 >8.5 were given the value 8.5. B) Virus titers in the upper respiratory tract (nasal washes) of ferrets infected with 106 50% egg infectious dose (EID50) pandemic (H1N1) 2009 TN/560/09 (35); 106 TCID50 swine TR influenza virus sw/TX/4199/98; or 106 EID50 swine pandemic reassortant virus sw/MN/239105/09. Values are the mean ± SD for 4, 3, and 5 ferrets for TN/560/09, sw/TX/4199/98, and sw/MN/239105/09, respectively.
