How much protein is in poliovirus vaccine?

01 January 1970 1 9K Report

Usually the amount is given as immunological units and I haven't learn what this means as protein amount.

The package insert for inactivated polio virus (IPOL) vaccine only gives the amounts of each antigen in D antigen units:

Here is a paper explaining how D antigen units are measured:

Not much help, I'm afraid.
