Hepatitis E Virus: Isolation, Propagation, and Quantification
AbstractHepatitis E virus (HEV) predominantly causes acute liver disease in humans and is transmitted via the fecal‐oral route. HEV infection in pregnant women can result in grave consequences, with up to 30% fatality. The HEV strains infecting humans mainly belong to four genotypes.

Quantification of virus-infected cells using RNA FISH-Flow
We present a protocol to detect cells that have been infected by RNA viruses. The method, RNA fluorescence in situ hybridization flow cytometry (RNA FISH-Flow), uses 48 fluorescently labeled DNA probes that hybridize in tandem to viral RNA. RNA FISH-Flow probes can be synthesized to match any RNA virus genome, in either sense or anti-sense, enabling ...

One-step and wash-free multiplexed immunoassay platform based on bioinspired photonic barcodes
Multiplex, rapid and accurate virus quantification plays a great value in biomedical detection. Here, a novel one step, wash-free immunoassay platform based bioinspired PhC barcodes for multiplexed virus quantification was explored.

Cellular IP6 Levels Limit HIV Production while Viruses that Cannot Efficiently Package IP6 Are Attenuated for Infection and Replication [PDF]
Summary: HIV-1 hijacks host proteins to promote infection. Here we show that HIV is also dependent upon the host metabolite inositol hexakisphosphate (IP6) for viral production and primary cell replication.

Zika virus isolation, propagation, and quantification using multiple methods
Zika virus (ZIKV) was isolated from the archival urine, serum, and autopsy specimens by intrathoracic inoculation of Toxorhynchitis splendens and followed by three blind sub-passaging in C6/36 mosquito cells. The virus isolates were identified using an immunofluorescence assay and real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (real-time RT ...

Effector memory differentiation increases detection of replication-competent HIV-l in resting CD4+ T cells from virally suppressed individuals. [PDF]
Studies have demonstrated that intensive ART alone is not capable of eradicating HIV-1, as the virus rebounds within a few weeks upon treatment interruption.

Immunoplaque Assay (Influenza Virus)
Despite developed long time ago, plaque assay is still the gold standard for viral titer quantification in modern virology. The standard crystal violet-based plaque assay relies on virus’ ability to induce cytopathic effect (CPE) which limits the assay ...

Measurement of Epstein-Barr virus DNA load using a novel quantification standard containing two EBV DNA targets and SYBR Green I dye [PDF]
BACKGROUND Reactivation of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection may cause serious, life-threatening complications in immunocompromised individuals. EBV DNA is often detected in EBV-associated disease states, with viral load believed to be a reflection of ...

Hepatitis C Virus: Propagation, Quantification, and Storage [PDF]
AbstractHepatitis C virus (HCV) is a leading cause of chronic liver diseases, including chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. HCV is well known for its restricted tropism and it does not replicate well in animal species other than humans and chimpanzees. Since classical in vitro propagation of natural HCV isolates is not possible,
