2 Figure and Table Legends Supplementary Figure S1. Infection of historical and contemporary H1N1 strain infections in ferrets showed diverse clinical features. Clinical signs of infected ferrets were measured daily over 14 days. Temperature A) and weight B) were recorded daily until end day and are expressed as percentage relative to the pre-infection level at Day 0. Error bars represent standard error of the mean. Supplementary Figure S2. HA aa Clustal sequence alignment shows various sequence changes between NCal/ with SI/06 and Bris/07. Clustal alignment of the full HA aa sequence from NCal/, SI/06 and Bris/07 was done using the ClustalW program. GenBank accession numbers for clustal alignment: A/NewCaledonia/20/19(H1N1) (AAP ); A/SolomonIslands/3/2006(H1N1) (ABU109.1); A/Brisbane/59/2007(H1N1) (ADE ). Supplementary Table S1. Secondary clinical signs of evolutionary H1N1 virus strains infected in ferrets. Ferrets were infected with various H1N1 virus strains isolated from relevant influenza outbreaks: Marton/43, FM/47, USSR/77, Taiwan/86, NCal/, and NY/09. Percent nasal discharge, percent sneezing and inactivity index were observed daily and the highest percentages and fractions of infected ferrets displaying symptoms are shown. Physical inactivity index measures the degree to which ferrets respond to environmental stimuli with a basal level of

3 Supplementary Table S2. Summary of HI assays using antisera from H1N1 infected ferrets against historical and contemporary H1N1 viruses. Ferrets were infected with Marton/43, FM/47, USSR/77, Taiwan/86, NCal/, and NY/09 H1N1 in this study or previously with SI/06 and Bris/07 influenza strains. Antisera isolated from each infection were used for HI assays against a panel of H1N1 viruses. Results from the HI assay are summarized in the table where + denotes a positive HI reaction between antisera and virus strain. Supplementary Table S3. Hemagglutination Inhibition Assay using WHO control antisera against a panel of historical and contemporary H1N1 viruses. Hemagglutination inhibition assay was preformed using control influenza virus antisera from the WHO Influenza detection kit ( WHO Influenza Reagent Kit for Identification of Influenza Isolates) against a panel of H1N1 viruses: PR/34, Marton/43, FM/47, USSR/77, Taiwan/86, NC/, SI/06 and NY/09. Supplementary Table S4. Hemagglutination Inhibition Assay using the panel of ferret antisera from historical and contemporary H1N1 infected ferrets against currently circulating influenza viruses (WHO kit). Hemagglutination Inhibition assay was performed using antisera extracted from historical and contemporary influenza infected ferrets against currently circulating influenza viruses: 2009 H1N1pdm, sh1n1, H3N2, B/Victoria, and B/Yamagata ( WHO Influenza Reagent Kit for Identification of Influenza Isolates).
