Page 27, continued from page 38 of Notebook [___] listed an experimental protocol for spore coat protein studies. The protocol was entitled "Protective efficacy of experimental anthrax vaccine against anthrax aerosol challenge". Its objective was to evaluate the efficacy of spore coat protein to protect guinea pigs against challenge with aerosols of anthrax spores. The strains used vere~ and Vollum 1B. On page 29, dated May 11, 1983, an unknown individual i @ survival response to an aerosol challenge known as the test. This test used the Vollum 1B strain. On page 30, dated July 1, 1903, attempted to determine the relationship between protocatechyuic acid (PCA) and the anthrax toxin, Sterne strain. No results of this experiment were provided. Notebook[ Notebook issued August 30, 1996 and entitled contained Information On Shipments Oo: fa from Dugway Proving Grounds, Dugway, Utah to USAMRIID, quality control sheets for these shipments, Ivins' laboratory procedures upon receipt of the Dugway shipments, and a draft of the standard operating procedure (SOP) used by Dugway to prepare the Ba Ames spores. Also contained in the notebook was correspondence, experimental results, and protocols for a serological evaluation of anthrax- naive human plasma and phlebotomy protocols. Numerous individuals contributed to this notebook. There was no table of contents. One entry listed Ba shipped to USAMRIID from Dugway for sterilization by irradiation. This occurred on thirteen different occasions between March 31, 1994 and May 14, 1996. On April 21, og a Dugway shipped the first two lots (4/12/97 and Of Ba Ames spore preparations. The total volume was appri of paste and liquid with a total of approximately spores. These spores were received in good condition on April 24, 1997 by Bruce Ivins.
