Investigator supplied herpesvirus samples are used to infect monolayers of appropriate susceptible cell line at 90% confluency. Samples are tested in duplicate using a six point dilution series (normally 10^-2, 10^-4, 10^-6, 10^-8 , 10^-10 and 10^-12 – other dilutions may be specified if desired). Monolayer is examined and reported at 3, 6, 9 and 12 days based on cytopathic effect.
