They exposed plasma from the samples to purified proteins of avian influenza virus H3, H4, H5, H6, H7, H8 and H12 subtypes using two laboratory tests to see how many different viruses participants reacted to, and how strongly.

Avian flu (also «bird flu», «avian influenza», «bird influenza»), means «flu from viruses adapted to birds», but is sometimes mistakenly used to refer to both other flu subsets (such as H5N1 flu) or the viruses that cause them (such as HAvian flu (also «bird flu», «avian influenza», «bird influenza»), means «flu from viruses adapted to birds», but is sometimes mistakenly used to refer to both other flu subsets (such as H5N1 flu) or the viruses that cause them (such as Havian influenza», «bird influenza»), means «flu from viruses adapted to birds», but is sometimes mistakenly used to refer to both other flu subsets (such as H5N1 flu) or the viruses that cause them (such as H5N1).
