Abstract

Volunteers were given A2 influenza virus in a small-particle aerosol. Infection and typical influenza resulted from low doses of virus administered in this manner. Low levels of serum neutralizing antibody were not completely effective in preventing infection and illness. The human infectious dose of this influenza strain when administered by aerosol to subjects free of serum neutralizing antibody was approximately 3 TCID50.
