Poster: Automated Method to Determine Infectious Dose (TCID50)
Download the Poster Automated Method to Determine Infectious Dose (TCID50) Andrea Murphy PhD, and Catherine Swingler PhD Qualitative assessment of pathogenic infections, as well as the protective effects of candidate therapeutics, often relies on the observation of specificpathological changes within the host cell. These phenotypic changes, such ascell rounding, swelling/shrinking, granularity, etc., are known as a CytopathicEffect (CPE) and can be visualized via light microscopy. As the magnitude and localization of the CPE may vary considerably, careful examination of replicate samples at various titers is required for reliable, qualitative results. This subjective approach which is specific to the infectious agent [...]
