Susceptible cultured cells infected with which of the following viruses would exhibit hemadsorption with the appropriate erythocyte ?
High-Yield Explanation
Virus growth can be identified by hemadsorption with human O group ,fowl or guinea pig erythrocytes. The plasma membrane of tissue culture cells in which the virus is multiplying contain the hemagglutinin.therefore red cells are absorbed onto the surface of such cells and is the basis of hemadsorption.
