Subjects receiving the GSK2321138A vaccine were pooled for this outcome measure.
Number of Seroconverted Subjects Against 4 Strains of Influenza Disease	At Day 21 (D 21)	A seroconverted subject was a vaccinated subject who had either a pre-vaccination hemagglutination inhibition (HI) antibody titer \< 1:10 and a post-vaccination titer above or equal (\>=) 1:40, or a pre-vaccination HI antibody titer \>= 1:10 and at least a 4-fold increase in post-vaccination HI antibody titer. Antibodies assessed were HI antibodies against the A/California/7/2009 (H1N1), A/Victoria/210/2009 (H3N2), B/Brisbane/60/2008 (Victoria), and B/Brisbane/3/2007 (Yamagata) flu strains. Subjects receiving the GSK2321138A vaccine were pooled for this outcome measure.

Secondary Outcome Measures
