Acute LGTV TP21 infection phase and rescue of persistently infected cells. 293T cells were infected with LGTV TP21 at an MOI of 0.1 and then incubated at 37°C in 5% CO₂. By day 5 post infection (5 dpi), the cells underwent a lytic crisis and sloughed off the culture flask. Feeding of the few remaining attached cells with fresh DMEM resulted in the cells growing back to confluence.
