|
GMCs of antibodies binding to EBOV GP using FANG ELISA were reported and were measured in ELISA unit per milliliter (EU/mL).
Serum samples were collected for analysis of binding antibodies against EBOV GP using FANG ELISA to determine humoral responses following vaccination.
For ELISA binding antibody responses, values below the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) (36.11
ELISA units/mL).
