Plaque phenotypes were determined by comparison to those observed for CDV-1-51. CDV-1-51 had a normal plaque phenotype, with a diametric size of approximately 2.2 mm at day 5 p.i. Viruses with small-plaque phenotypes had plaques approximately half this size at the same time p.i. Viruses with large-plaque phenotypes had plaques approximately twice the size of normal plaques at the same time p.i.
Virus entry rates (ratios) for adsorption and penetration assays are expressed as a percentage, i.e., the number of plaques observed at 30 (30:90) or 60 (60:90) min p.i. divided by the number observed at 90 min p.i. (times 100%).
