The mice were primed with the indicated virus on day 0 and then boosted with the indicated virus on day 42. The anthrax toxin neutralization titers at days 28, 56, and 77 are shown. The titers are expressed as the reciprocal of the dilution that protected 50% of the cells in an MTT assay (see Materials and Methods). A neutralizing titer less than 100 is considered negative and is reported as <100.
“Day” refers to days after initial inoculation.
