Splenocyte plaque assay for the detection of murine leukemia virus

C J Melief et al. Proc Soc Exp Biol Med. 1975 Sep.

Abstract

A modified XC assay for murine leukemia virus (MuLV) employing splenocytes taken directly from the animal is described. This modification can be more than 1000 times more sensitive than XC plaque assays employing tissue extracts. This technique should lend itself readily to the quantitation of infectious MuLV in defined populations of lymphoid cells.
