4. Bioassay
   The inoculation of tissue into another animal in order to see if it is infective (if it is, the animal will develop disease). Multiple dilutions of the inoculum will, if the dilutions are enough, get to the point that not enough infection is present in the inoculum to cause disease. The lowest amount of inoculum that will still transmit the disease is said to contain one infective unit.
