Growth and Quantification of MERS‐CoV Infection [PDF]

Current Protocols in Microbiology, 2015
AbstractMiddle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS‐CoV) is an emerging highly pathogenic respiratory virus. Although MERS‐CoV only emerged in 2012, we and others have developed assays to grow and quantify infectious MERS‐CoV and RNA products of replication in vitro. MERS‐CoV is able to infect a range of cell types, but replicates to high titers
