The results show that the vast majority of viruses had similar levels and patterns of reactivity to the antisera and remained antigenically similar to the vaccine virus A/California/7/2009.
(...)
Two viruses from England collected in November are shown in the phylogenetic tree; these viruses do not cluster together. The genetic characteristics of viruses isolated more recently in the UK have been described elsewhere (Ellis J, Galiano M, Pebody R, et al; Virological analysis of fatal influenza cases in the United Kingdom during the early wave of influenza in winter 2010/11. EuroSurveill. 2011;16(1): pii=19760.)

One virus?A/Northern Ireland/1/2010?showed a reduced level of reactivity with the majority of sera; sequencing of this virus is ongoing.
