Susceptible cultured cells infected with which of the following viruses would exhibit hemadsorption with the appropriate erythocyte -a) Sindbis virusb) Rabies virusc) Measles virusd) Respiratory syncytial virus
High-Yield Explanation
Hemadsorption
When hemagglutinating viruses grow in cell cultures, their presence can be indicated by the addition of guinea pig erythrocyte to culture. If the viruses are multiplying in the culture, the erythrocytes will adsorb on to the surface of cells. This is known as Hemadsorption.
Viruses causing Hemagglutination are :
- Influenza Virus
- Measles
- Rubella
- Coxsackie Virus
- Rhino Virus
- Rabies
- Parainfluenza Virus
- Toga Virus
- EnteroVirus
- Echo Virus
- ReoVirus
