Going Un-Viral: Virus Quantification Using Plaque Assays

In this simulation, students use a viral plaque assay to measure viral load in two patients and evaluate antiviral treatment effectiveness by sharing class data. • Learn about viruses and biotechnologies for treatment and monitoring • Perform plaque assays on simulated patient samples • Graph and analyze results to assess treatment success • Safe, classroom-ready COLORTOP™ Agar and Bacteriophage T4 ViroBeads™
