ABSTRACT
The 50% tissue culture infectious dose (TCID50) endpoint dilution assay is one of the gold standard methods for measuring filovirus infectivity. We have increased virology microtitration assay throughput at biosafety level (BSL)-4 by implementing automated liquid handling and semi-automated assay endpoint readout. Utilization of automated liquid handling for cell plating and virus dilution along with optimization of the assay endpoint readout, using a luminescent-based cell viability assay and an automated plate reader, has improved workflow efficiency, reduced operator burden and assay time, decreased assay variability, and increased data return.
