Study Notes
Viral Cultivation
- The primary purpose of embryonated eggs is to provide a susceptible host cell system for the cultivation of viruses.
Viral Replication
- The release of newly formed virus particles involves the lysis of infected cells, which is the final step of viral replication.
Cell Lines
- There are three types of cell lines used in the cultivation of viruses:
- Primary cell lines derived directly from tissues or organs
- Diploid cell lines with a finite lifespan
- Continuous cell lines that can be propagated indefinitely
Serologic Detection
- The neutralization test is used for the serologic detection of antiviral antibodies.
Viral Replication Steps
- The first step in viral replication is the attachment of the virus to the host cell surface.
