qRT-PCR Assay Serum MARV RNA Titers. The lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) for the assay is 1.0 × 103 GEq/µL and the lower limit of detection LLOD is 0. For statistical analysis and graphing LLOQ samples were assigned 5 × 102 GEq/µL and LLOD samples were assigned 1.0 GEq/µL. Symbols represent geometric mean concentrations and bars indicate 95% confidence intervals. The confidence intervals on all Days 0 through 28 for mock-exposed control animals, and on Day 0 for MARV-exposed animals, were not plotted as the results were all below the limit of detection for the assay. Terminal draws in animals that met euthanasia criteria were plotted as a single time point.
