The Pan-Immunity Virion is a virus created by West Tek.
Background
To counteract biological weapons, the United States government began the Pan-Immunity Virion Project in 2073.[1] The project aimed to alter uninfected DNA so that it was no longer susceptible to standard viral infection.[1][2]
In March 2075, the virion was renamed FEV and Major Barnett ordered experiments focused on the quad-helix structure of the virus, which resulted in the subjects' immunity to infection and radiation exceeding expectations.[3] Chloroplasts were not affected by the virus and Barnett canceled all future experiments concerning plant cells.[3]
Throughout the rest of 2075 and 2076, the team experimented on flatworms, insects, mice, rabbits, raccoons, dogs, and chimpanzees.[4][5] Side effects of abnormal growth rate and increased brain activity were noted in all subjects.[6][7][8] The tests on dogs resulted in increased aggression without intelligence increase.[6] The chimpanzee subjects were subjected to radiological and chemical agents in an attempt to create cancers, but these tests were unsuccessful.[9][10]
The project also extended to the Greenhouse Initiative, a project designed to facilitate and control the production of genetically-modified foods to combat global hunger, but disbanded to focus on mutagen research.[2][11]
Appearances
The Pan-Immunity Virion is mentioned in Fallout and Fallout 76.
