title: Rat immunogenicity assay of inactivated poliovirus.
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.
