Abstract
Two techniques are at present available for the plaque assay of animal viruses. The most widely used involves the infection of monolayers of susceptible cells1: this method has been successfully applied to herpes virus by a number of authors using various cell systems2–7. The second technique, which has certain advantages over the monolayer method, uses agar-cell suspensions8: this method does not function satisfactorily with herpes virus in the cell systems tested (cf. ref. 3).
