Single-Dose Assay Technique for Variola Virus [PDF]
Applied Microbiology, 1964 A biological assay for variola virus was needed that would (i) require a minimum of time and (ii) have acceptable precision. Preliminary titrations made in 11-day-old embryonated eggs and in suckling mice (6 to 24 hr of age) demonstrated a linear relationship between the concentration of variola virus injected and the mean reciprocal time to death (MTD)
