*IC 50, 50% inhibitory concentration; No., number of viruses analyzed; Min-Max, minimum to maximum of IC50 values; NA, not applicable; IQR, interquartile range.
†Mean and SD of IC50 values after exclusion of outliers.
‡ Viruses with IC50 values <U = Q3+3.0*(IQRIQR= Q3-Q1; Q1 = 25th percentile; Q3= 75th percentile.
§Mild outliers, with IC50 >U but <10-fold difference compared with the median IC50.
¶Extreme outliers, with IC50 >U and ≥10-fold difference compared with the median IC50.
**2.3.4/R,reassortants; the viruses belong to clade 2.3.4 but the neuraminidase genes are grouped with clade 2.3.2.1 (also see Technical Appendix, Table 2).
