Growth characteristics of Towne, pp28-and POL -luciferase Towne viruses. The production of virus progeny was determined in HFF infected with the original Towne virus, and recombinant pp28- or POL-luciferase virus at an MOI of 0.1. Culture supernatants were collected at the indicated days and used for titration of infectious virus by the plaque assay. Y-axis on the left indicates growth of progeny viruses in log scale, Y-axis on the right indicated relative virus kinetics of the recombinant viruses as compared to the parent Towne strain.
