Alignment of putative PB1-F2 amino acid sequences of 18 Taiwanese H3N2 strains and 17 H3N2 reference strains. PB1-F2 of A/Puerto Rico/8/34 (H1N1) with 87 residues is laid over the alignment for reference. Most strains contained a PB1-F2 ORF 90 residues long. One Taiwanese strain, A/Taiwan/1748/97, encoded a truncated open reading frame (ORF) with 79 residues, and one reference strain, A/Shiga/25/97, encoded a 87-residue product as in A/Puerto Rico/8/34 (H1N1). The program AlignX in VectorNTI Sui
