Abstract
The instant invention addresses the need for a more accurate method of quantitating infectious viral particles in a population. The methods of the instant invention are based on the unexpected and surprising result that flow cytometry analysis of cells infected using specified ranges of viral particle concentration and/or adsorption time yields a more accurate measurement of infectious virus titer than traditional titration methods.
