Titration of Adenovirus by Counting Cells Containing Virus-Induced Inclusion Bodies

Joseph Weber a,1
PMCID: PMC380494  PMID: 4113255

Abstract

A new method for the titration of adenovirus types 2 and 12 based on the enumeration of viral inclusions in infected cells was devised and evaluated. The technique gave virus titers comparable to those obtained by the plaque assay procedure.
