APPROACH TO STRAIN SELECTION AND THE PROPAGATION OF VIRAL STOCKS FOR VENEZUELAN EQUINE ENCEPHALITIS VIRUS VACCINE EFFICACY TESTING UNDER THE ANIMAL RULE

Approach to Strain Selection and the Propagation of Viral Stocks for Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis Virus Vaccine Efficacy Testing under the Animal Rule

Licensure of a vaccine to protect against aerosolized Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus (VEEV) requires use of the U.S.Food and Drug Administration Therapuetic Skin (FDA) Animal Rule to assess vaccine efficacy as human studies are not feasible or ethical.An approach to selecting VEEV challenge strains for use under the Animal Rule was developed,

The PPLD has advantages over conventional regression methods in application to moderately sized genome-wide association studies.

In earlier work, we have developed and evaluated an alternative approach to the analysis of GWAS data, based on a statistic called the PPLD.More recently, motivated by a GWAS for genetic modifiers of the X-linked Mendelian disorder Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD), we adapted the PPLD for application to time-to-event (TE) phenotypes.Because DMD it
