Abstract

We report a 1-step assay to screen antiviral substances combining the simultaneous application of cells, virus sample, and drug to 96-well plates. The results were obtained within 26 h when vaccinia virus plaques were counted or virus-induced cytopathic effect was measured. This fast cost-effective procedure may be used for other cytopathic viruses and is suitable to 1st screening tests.
