MEDIUM FOR MAINTAINING AND DETECTING WEST NILE VIRUS AND A POTENCY ASSAY METHOD USING THE SAME

摘要

PURPOSE: A medium for maintainig and determining west nile is provided to reduce the exposure by high risk virus and to shorten the use of harmful reagents.;CONSTITUTION: A medium for maintaining and detecting west nile contains alpha-MEM or DMEM containing 1-10 g/L of glucose and pH indicator. The pH indicator is phenol red. A potency assay method for detecting west nile comprises: a step of culturing west nile host cells and a sample in the medium; and a step of measuring the pH concentration of the medium to detecting west nile virus and tittering west nile in a sample. The host cells are monkey kidney cells.;COPYRIGHT KIPO 2012
