Comparison of in vitro titers after 7 days of suboptimal storage of vesicular stomatitis–based vaccines*

VSVΔG/LASVGPC Stock vaccine 1.29 × 106 † 83
3× freeze–thaw 7.43 × 105 1.74 100
4°C for 7 d 1.05 × 106 1.23 83
Room temperature for 7 d 2.86 × 105 4.51 83
32°C for 7 d 3.75 × 104 34.40 66

*VSVΔG/EBOVGPC, vesicular stomatitis virus–based Ebola virus vaccine; VSVΔG/LASVGPC, vesicular stomatitis virus–based Lassa virus vaccine.
†Stock vaccine was not subject to any treatments and thus had no -fold change. The fold change for all other treatment groups was calculated on the basis of the original dose of stock vaccine.
