In Vitro Growth Characteristics of Monkeypox Virus

open access: yesExperimental Biology and Medicine, 1972
SummaryA one-step growth study in CV1 cells indicated that infectious virions of MPV were synthesized intracellularly by 8 to 9 hr after infection; whereas cell-free virus and HA developed at later, but variable, stages of the growth cycle. Viral antigen(s) detected by immunofluorescence appeared 2 to 3 hours earlier than infectious virus.
