INFLUENZA B - Reactivity data Current circulating influenza B strains are changing profile. The World Health Organization (WHO) analysis of circulating influenza B strains has revealed that while Victoria lineage viruses are prevalent in some countries, the proportion of Yamagata lineage ones continue to increase and are becoming dominant in many countries. Patterns with the genetic clades showed that many viruses in clade 2, which includes B/Massachusetts/2/2012, were antigenically distinct from those in clade 3, which includes B/Wisconsin/1/2010. As a result WHO recommends including B/Massachusetts/2/2012, in replacement of B/Wisconsin/1/2010, and a B/Brisbane/60/2008-like virus starting from the 2013-14 season. The following antibodies have been tested against a panel of influenza subtype nucleoproteins using a immunoprecipitation-equivalent method to determine their reactivity to a particular strain. The higher the percentage, the stronger the reactivity of the antibody.
