Data for viral replication kinetics, infectious virus production and thermal stability are presented as means (± SEM) of the indicated independent repeats. To determine the significance between the clinical isolates and the reference (RSV A2 or B1), data was analysed with a two-way ANOVA. Fusion data and MUC expression represents means (± SEM), significance was calculated between the clinical isolates and their references with a one-way ANOVA. Data for plaque reduction represents means (± SD), significance was calculated between clinical isolates and references with a one-way ANOVA. Calculations were done using Graphpad Prism 6.
