Serial Adaptation of Viruses for Reduced Susceptibility Profiling
摘要
Serial adaptation of viruses to inhibitors enhances the understanding of the mechanism of inhibition, helps to identify physical target sites of compounds, and serves as a test for the genetic barrier to reducing virus susceptibility. Virus adaptations can be carried out in vivo or in tissue culture using sub-inhibitory concentrations of compounds that are increased with each passage of the virus or kept static. Here we describe the method of serially adapting a virus in tissue culture.
