Table 2 Comparison of MVA plaque assay using Immunostaining and crystal violet staining using DF-1 cells
From: MVA titration by plaque assay using crystal violet staining in DF-1 cells
| Â | Time | Cost | Accuracy |
|---|---|---|---|
Crystal violet staining | 2–3 days | Low | Comparable to immunostaining |
Immuno- staining | 3–4 days | High due to anti-VACV serum and immune detection reagents | Gold standard |
