Microtissue Culture Plaque Assay for Herpesvirus saimiri

PMCID: PMC379796  PMID: 4201642

Abstract

A microtissue culture method for the plaque assay of Herpesvirus saimiri has been developed. Virus titrations carried out in Microtest II tissue culture plates (Falcon) yielded reproducible results that agreed well with those obtained by employing macrocultures. The described method is quantitative, reproducible, economical, and suitable for routine assay of large numbers of virus samples.
