FIG 8.
Growth properties of complemented ΔUL16 viruses. (A) Cultures of Vero or G5 cells were infected with the indicated viruses at an MOI of 1. At various times after infection, the total amount of virus present in the cells and medium (combined) was measured by plaque assays on Vero cells. Measurements from three independent experiments were made, and the error bars represent standard errors of the means. (B) Vero or G5 cells were infected with dilutions of the indicated viruses and were overlaid with methylcellulose. Four days postinfection, the cells were fixed and stained, and plaque sizes relative to those of the wild-type virus were measured. Representative plates from three independent experiments are shown.
