Virus titers of virus stocks and homogenized tissue samples were determined by end-point titration in eggs and/or MDCK cells. For end-point viral titration in eggs, 10-fold serial dilutions of each sample were inoculated into eggs. Sixty hours after inoculation, fluid from the allantoic cavity was collected and tested for the ability to agglutinate chicken erythrocytes as an indicator of viral replication. Infectious virus titers are reported as log10 EID50/ml, and were calculated from three replicates by the method of Reed-Muench.
