Automated focus reduction neutralization test using GFP-expressing respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) with hamster serum
- The host cells are seeded in a 24-well microplate and incubated for 100% confluence
- The cells are then infected by GFP-RSV and incubated with low, medium, and high hamster sera concentrations
- Finally, the plate is scanned and analyzed with Celigo to count the number of foci in each well
Zoomed in bright and fluorescent images of GFP-RSV infected foci
