Antiviral effect against avian influenza virus
Testing Method of virus infectivity
React textile and virus solution. (for 10 minutes
in room temperature) ? Centrifugalize (5000
rotations for 30 seconds) and collect virus
solution. ? Immediately dilute the virus
solution. ? Inoculate the diluted solution into
the first generation of chicken renal cell.
Incubate at 37oC for one day, change the medium
next day and incubate for six more
days. ? Examine the cellular degeneration and
erythrocyte agglutination. Calculate the virus
infection value.
