Ivins advised that he would need to review his notebooks to b6 determine what seed stock was sent from UsAmRIiD to Dugway in 1992.. b70 in Ba. He noted that Ba would not show capsule formation when grown in carbon dioxide at less than 5% unless both plasmids were present. Ivins advised that the material sent from Southern Research Institute (SRI) to California by recently was grown on capsule agar. He then provided a UsAmRIID Study Specific Procedure titled prepared by date originated 3/23/97 and effective date 4/7/97. This document is maintained in an FD-340 in the 1A section of the file. Ivins has worked with Covance in Denver, Pennsylvania. UsAmriiD wanted Covance to produce antiserum for some spore antibody studies. These studies were performed by In support of some Ba vaccine studies at usAMRIID, UsAMRIID has provided the Ba vaccine to Covance. Covance immunizes the rabbits, and the rabbits are then brought down to usamRiiD for challenge. Ivins is not aware of any live Ba used by Covance.
