  1. VHH-CDR3 sequences and family grouping of related sequences. ELISA is given as the average OD450nm reading of two wells coated with whole virus antigen and Nbs added at a single concentration of 5 µg/ml. – indicates OD450 < 0.1 and represents no binding. Inactivated whole virus antigens used TX/2012(H3N2) [A/Texas/50/2012 (H3N2)], M/N/2000(H7N3) [A/Mallard/Netherlands/12/2000], NY/2003 (H7N2) [A/New York/107/2003], AN/2013 (H7N9) [A/Anhui/01/2013], GD/2016 (H7N9) [A/Guangdong/17SF003/2016], HK/2017 (H7N9) [A/HongKong/125/2017]. Pseudotype based micro-neutralisation assays using A/Texas/50/2012 (H3) and A/Shanghai/02/2013 (H7) HA bearing pseudoviruses. += 500-3000 nM, ++ < 500 nM, +++< 100 nM, ++++  < 50 nM, +++++< 10 nM, - no neutralisation.
