To analysis the variants by studying the
melting curve of or comparing the temperature with the known sequences in the databases

Q

Plaque assay:
Measures viral _____, specifically the ______ of the virus

______ dilution –> Pink plate = Cell culture in well + infected them with ___
Restrict ______
_ of virus before end of replication cycle by adding ___. Each virus replicating inside the cell does not have access to leave and go into another cell. Each dot represents population of ___ virus replicating in cell culture. From here, calculate the _____ of viruses.

A

particle, infectiousness

Serial, virus, movement, agar, one, number

123
Q

In a virus neutralization assay/serum neutrailization assay, the presence of ______ against a ____ virus can be detected by the ______’ ability to prevent ______ effects (CPE)* of the reference virus in cell cultures
 Most informative _______ assay about “Protective _______”
 Important tool used to characterize “ ________ ”

A

antibodies, known, antibodies, cytopathic, serological, Antibodies, serotypes

This assay detects antibody that is capable of inhibiting virus replication (or in other words, antibody that can neutralize virus infection). Virus neutralization is a specialized type of immunoassay because it does not detect all antigen–antibody reactions. It only detects antibody that can block virus replication.

124
Q

List and describe the steps of a Viral Neutralization Assay

A
  1. Serially dilute serum 1/2 1/4 1/8 1/16……….1/512
  2. Add equal amount of virus (100 plaque forming units) to each tube-incubate 1 hr. - infect cultured cells- incubate at 37 ̊C for plaque formation.
125
Q

Reciprocal of the highest dilution that can prevent ___% _____
formation is the serum ____.

A

50, plaque, titer

126
Q

Acute vs. Convalescent serum
_____- fold rise in neutralization titer of ______ serum relative to acute serum indicates ______ (virus ______)

A

Four, convalescent, seroconversion, infection

127
Q

What does tissue culture of infectious doses (TCID-50) measure?

A

• Measure the CPE other than the lysis
• Concentration of a virus is taken to produce CPE in 5p% of the inoculated cell culture vessels

Embryonic infectious dose 50/cell culture

infect cell culture dilution with virus

Count CPE: +=presence of CPE, - =no presence of CPE

Do 50% in order to have a standard/fixed unit.
