β¦ Synopsis
Most hepatitis A virus (HAV) replication in cell culture has been reported to be nonlytic and relatively slow. A rapidly replicating isolate of strain HM-175 from persistently infected, serially passed cell cultures (pHM-175) was found to induce a cytopathic effect. This observation allowed the development of a classic plaque assay for pHM-175 in FRhK-4 cells. The plaques were neutralized by polyclonal and monoclonal antisera to HAV.

Hepatitis A virus (HAV) strain HM175 derived after repeated subculture of persistently infected B-SC-1 cells caused a specific cytopathic effect upon acute infection of B-SC-1 cells. The virus formed visible plaques on B-SC-1 cell monolayers after 9 to 14 days of incubation at 34 degrees C, and viru
