Rat immunogenicity assay of inactivated poliovirus

Dev Biol Stand. 1996:86:121-7.

Abstract

A rat immunogenicity assay for IPV potency was validated and applied to routine vaccine testing as a potential alternative to the CFR Monkey Potency Assay. Potencies of pure trivalent polio, various combinations and experimental vaccines were tested with a view of producing a single dilution assay.
