    Hello Dr., I need to know how did u calculate the equation 4 the plaque assayplz?

    hi

    are there any videos about virus vs. bacteria

    hello,
    i would like to know how to detect the antiviral activity?

    I do have a practical problem. I measured TCID50 value of my virus (1.6X10^4/ml) now like to use it as 1 TCID50 or 100 TCID50. My final volume of infection is 100 microliter. How much virus I need to add from the above stock. Does the number of cell(s) in the culture influence the calculation. Please discuss anybody who ever interested. Thanks.

    Do you have recommendations or resources for protocols (books or online)? I am also looking for a resource to learn about the cell lines and strains commonly used in virology research.
