  1. Endpoint ELISA titers for each timed point are mean ± SD, N = 10, except for starred entries, where * N = 9 and ** N = 8. The p value for terminal endpoint IgG titers generated against relevant LASV antigens between the two VLP formats is shown. Samples were collected on days 21 (pre-1st boost), 42 (pre-2nd boost) and 63 (term.) for titer analysis.
