Results of challenge study 2 for viremia in flavivirus-naive and DEN1mutF-immunized monkeys after challenge with 106 PFU of wt DEN1WP
| Monkey | Peak virus titer in sera (10−2)a

|---|---|---|
| RT-PCR | Plaque titration | |
| 642 | 2.2 (5) [1-5] | 1.1 (4) [1-4] |

Peak titer on any day of the study. For the RT-PCR assay, units are PFU equivalents per milliliter. For plaque titration, units are PFU per milliliter. Monkeys were infected on day 0 with 106 PFU of DEN1WP, injected subcutaneously in the subscapular area. Virus in serial serum samples was detected and measured either by a quantitative, validated RT-PCR or by direct plaque formation on LLCMK2 cells. Values in parentheses are total number of days of viremia; values in brackets are days of the study on which viremia was observed. ND, not detected.
Immunized with DEN1mutF at 105 PFU 17 months prior to challenge.
Immunized with DEN1mutF at 103 PFU 17 months prior to challenge.
