Parameter estimates, standard errors, and 95% confidence limits from 0.50, 0.75, and 0.90 quantile regression models fit to log_e OD values post pVHSivb-G immunization (Post Vaccination) and post VHSV challenge (Post Challenge). The fitted regression models for post-vaccination (PV) included weeks PV (Time) and the square of weeks PV (Time × Time) as explanatory variables. The fitted regression models for post-challenge included weeks post-challenge (Time) as an explanatory variable
