Virus isolation and quantitation 2007-09-02 .txt text/plain 7674 425 61 The method conserves the virus and viral antigens, because the supernatant fluid is decanted from the cell culture into a sterile tube at the end of the incubation period (7-10 days); the monolayer is washed twice with 2-3 ml of plain Hanks Balanced Salt Solution (HBSS) at room temperature; 1 ml of fresh HBSS followed by 0.2 ml of 0.4% mammalian erythrocyte suspension from the appropriate species is added to the monolayer; the tube is incubated stationary with the fluid covering the monolayer; and the test is read 3 times at 20-min intervals by agitating the tube in a sideways motion and then observing the monolayer at 40-100x magnification to see if the erythrocytes are firmly attached to the cultured cells or are floating free in the fluid (see Fig. 15 .4). ./cache/cord-023678-9q68ftr9.txt ./txt/cord-023678-9q68ftr9.txt
