Measured by determining the viral titer in the supernatant of transfected 293T cells at 48 hours post-infection, by plaque assay using MDCK cells.
Values represent mean ± standard deviations, measured at 48 hours post-infection; n=100. The plaque size of CA04NA,M-k23 differed significantly from that of CA04NA-k23 and CA04M-k23 (p < 0.001).
