Description
| - Quantitation of viruses is practised widely in both basic and applied virology. Infectious titration in cell cultures, the most common approach to it, is quite labour-intensive and alternative protocols are therefore sought. One of the alternatives is transmission electron microscope (TEM) quantitation using latex particles at a known concentration as a reference for counting virus particles. If virus TCID50 is determined in parallel, the ratio of infectious to non-infectious virus particles may be established. This study employs such an approach to compute the number of virus particles and TCID50, and establish their correlation for three viruses: Canine adenovirus 1 (CAdV-1), Feline calicivirus (FCV) and Bovine herpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1). Each of the viruses was grown in five replicates until complete cytopathology was recorded (time 0), then frozen. They were thawed, filter-sterilised and left for additional periods of 16,32 and 48 hat 37 degrees C. At each time point, TCID50 was characterised and the number of virions quantified, in order to evaluate the influence of timing on virus harvest. The TEM particle count did not change for any of the viruses throughout the experiment. The relationship between particle counts with TCID50 at time 0 showed good linearity response; their ratio was almost constant. The virus particle-to-TCID50 ratio varied between 146 and 426 for CAdV-1, between 36 and 79 for FCV and between 110 and 249 for BoHV-1. The proportion of non-infectious particles did not change throughout the experiment for either CAdV-1 or BoHV-1. However, a decrease in virus infectious ability indicated that the fraction of non-infectious particles in FCV increased 300,000 times when time 0 and 48 h were compared. The quantitation of viruses with TEM is a simple and rapid protocol for virus quantitation but account must be taken of the type of virus and harvesting time as virus counts need not necessarily correlate with virus infectious ability.
