This includes but is not limited to an oral temperature of ≥100°F, diarrhea, or vomiting. * Have a pulse rate of less than 55 beats per minute (bpm) or greater than 100 bpm (participants will not be excluded if the heart rate is 55 bpm with moderate exercise (e.g., walking up two flights of stairs)) * Have a systolic blood pressure of less than 90 mmHg or greater than 140 mmHg on two separate measurements (screening and pre-challenge). * Have a diastolic blood pressure of less than 50 mmHg or greater than 90 mmHg on two separate measurements (screening and pre-challenge). * Have long-term (≥2 weeks) use of high-dose oral (≥20 mg per day prednisone or equivalent) or parenteral glucocorticoids, or high-dose inhaled steroids for greater than 7 days in the last 3 months. * Have an active HIV, hepatitis B, or hepatitis C infection. * Have screening laboratory test results (white blood cells \[WBC\], absolute neutrophil count \[ANC\], hemoglobin, platelets) that are outside the laboratory reported normal values and deemed clinically significant by the study investigator. * Have a serum creatinine greater than 1.1 x upper limit of normal (ULN). * Have an alanine aminotransferase (ALT) greater than 1.1 x ULN. * Have abnormal findings on screening electrocardiogram deemed clinically significant by the study investigator. * Have abnormal findings on screening chest X-ray deemed clinically significant by the study investigator. * Have ongoing drug or alcohol abuse and/or dependence within five years of challenge. * Have positive urine/serum test for drugs of abuse (i.e. cocaine, benzodiazepines, opiates, or metabolites). Positive results for tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) will not be considered exclusionary. Metabolites and amphetamines as prescribed for a documented medical condition will also not be considered exclusionary. * Have any medical, psychiatric, occupational, or behavioral problems that could make it difficult for the participant to comply with the protocol as determined by the investigator. * Have received experimental products within 30 days before the challenge or plan to receive experimental products at any time during the study. * Plan to enroll in another clinical trial that could interfere with the safety assessment of the investigational product at any time during the study period, including study interventions such as drugs, biologics, or devices. * Plan to donate blood during the study. * Have received a live vaccine within 30 days before the challenge or plan to receive a live vaccine before Day 31 post-challenge. * Have received an inactivated vaccine within 14 days before the challenge or plan to receive an inactivated vaccine before Day 14 of the challenge.
