Quantitative Assessment of Hemadsorption by Myxoviruses: Virus Hemadsorption Assay NICHOLAS HAHON, JAMES A. BOOTH, AND HERBERT L. ECKERT Appalachian Laboratory for Occupational Respiratory Diseases, Morganton, West Virginia 2655 Received for publication 17 January 1973 The standardiation and quantitative evaluation of an assay for myxoviruses, based on the enumeration of individual infected clone 1-5C-4 cells manifesting hemadsorption ithin 24 h of infection, are described. Hemadsorption as detectable earlier than immunofluorescence in infected cells or hemagglutinins in culture medium. The relationship beteen virus concentration and cells exhibiting hemadsorption as linear. The assay as highly precise, sensitive, and reproducible. The phenomenon of hemadsorption, first described by Vogel and Shelokov (15), ith influena viruses gron in cell cultures subsequently proved cardinal to the discovery and serological characteriation of the parainfluena viruses (1). The applicability of the phenomenon for assaying myxoviruses, hoever, has been based on techniques that either lacked simplicity of performance, adequate quantitative evaluation, or, relying on multiple cycles of virus propagation in host cells, required prolonged incubation periods. Some hemadsorption assay procedures that have been employed ith myxoviruses include counting clumps of agglutinated erythrocytes in 48-h infected-cell cultures (13), the virus dilution end-point method of hemadsorption hich requires incubation of infected cell cultures for 5 days (9), and a 48-h hemadsorption plaque assay (3). An attempt as made to develop a virus hemadsorption assay, similar in principle to immunofluorescent cell-counting virus assays (5, 6), that is rapid, quantitative, and dependent on a single cycle of cell infection. This report describes the application and standardiation of a quantitative assay for myxoviruses based on the enumeration of individual infected cells manifesting hemadsorption ithin 24 h of infection. MATERIALS AND METHODS Cell culture. The principal cell line used as clone 1-5C-4 derived from a variant line of Chang's conjunctival cell (16). Cells ere propagated ith Eagle minimum essential medium containing 1% fetal calf serum and maintained ith minimal essential medium plus 5% fetal calf serum. For the virus hemadsorption assay, cells ere cultivated on circular cover slips (15-mm diameter) inserted in flat-bottomed 595 glass vials (19 by 65 mm). One milliliter of cell suspension, containing approximately 1' cells, as introduced onto each cover slip hich as then incubated at 35 C for 24 h or until a complete cell monolayer as formed. Virus. Influena A/PR8 and parainfluena 3 C-243 virus strains employed in this study ere obtained from the American Type Culture Collection, Rockville, Md. Influena virus as gron in the allantois of 11-day-old chicken embryonated eggs. After incubation at 35 C for 48 h, eggs ere chilled (6 C) for 5 or more h. Allantoic fluids ere then harvested asceptically and individually assayed for hemagglutinin (HA), and those ith the highest HA titer ere pooled. The stock virus preparation as stored in 1-ml amounts in glass vials at -7 C. To propagate parainfluena 3 virus, HeLa cell monolayers in 25-ml, plastic, tissue culture flasks (Falcon Plastics, Div. of B-D Laboratories, Inc., Los Angeles, Calif.) ere each inoculated ith 3 ml of an appropriate virus dilution. After incubation at 35 C for 2 h, residual inoculum as removed, and 15 ml of maintenance medium as added per flask. Cell cultures ere then incubated at 35 C until a cytopathic effect as observed. The contents of each flask ere then froen (-7 C) and thaed (35 C) three times, pooled, and centrifuged at 17 x g for 5 min. The supernatant fluid as dispensed and stored as described for the influena virus pool. Erythrocyte suspension. Guinea pig blood obtained by cardiac puncture as mixed ith an equal volume of Alsever solution and stored at 4 C. Erythrocytes ere usable for up to 1 eek. For each day's test, cells ere ashed three times in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), ph 7.2. The final ashing as carried out in a graduated centrifuge tube at the recommended conditions of sedimentation (9). Packed cells ere resuspended in PBS to make a.4% erythrocyte suspension that as calculated by volume. Virus hemadsorption assay.

Hemadsorption as detected ithin 7 h after virus inoculation of cell monolayers (Table 2). The general pattern of erythrocyte adherence to infected cells as in the form of rosettes or clusters (14). The maximal number of cells exhibiting hemadsorption occurred beteen 2 and 24 h of the primary cycle of infection. The production of infectious virus and hemagglutinin as not detected earlier than 48 h. The susceptibility of five established cell lines to infection by influena and parainfluena 3 viruses as determined by the virus hemadsorption assay. Virus infectivity for each cell line as carried out in triplicate. Results indicate that clone 1-5C-4, LLC-MK,, and BHK-21/C13 cell lines ere equally susceptible to infection by influena virus; L-929 and HeLa cell lines ere less susceptible. The folloing cell lines ere susceptible to parainfluena 3 virus infection (in order of decreasing susceptibility): BHK-21/C13, LLC-MK2, 1-5C-4, HeLa, and L-929. The BHK-21/C13 cell line as not suitable for the hemadsorption assay of virus. With this cell line, cells infected by either influena or parainfluena 3 viruses exhibited a "streamer effect" (14) in the presence of guinea pig erythrocytes, making it difficult to count accurately individual cells exhibiting hemadsorption. To determine the optimal incubation conditions for adsorption of erythrocytes to infected cells, the reaction as observed at varied temperatures (6 and 22 C) and time intervals (5 to 3 min) in cell monolayers infected ith either influena or parainfluena 3 viruses.

A linear relationship as obtained beteen the number of cells manifesting hemadsorption and the relative concentration of influena virus throughout the inoculum range of 1.5 log1 units (Fig. 2). These data suggest that each hemadsorption cell unit as the consequence of infection by a single virus particle or aggregate not divisible by dilution. To estimate the precision of the hemadsorption assay for influena and parainfluena 3 viruses, 13 determinations ere performed ith each virus by the prescribed manner. The number of HCU of influena virus per ml of inocuhum ranged from 1.2 x 17 to 1.7 x 17, ith a mean of 1.4 x 17 and standard deviation (SD) of Expressed as a percentage, the SD as 1.7% of the mean.

The reproducibility of the assay ith the use of tofold dilutions of virus inoculum in each of the six determinations is shon in Table 4. The results attest to the reproducibility of the assay at the virus concentration levels employed. The mode of distribution of cells exhibiting hemadsorption on a cover slip monolayer as determined by examining 145 random microscopy fields. The frequencies of fields containing cells shoing hemadsorption correspond closely to the expected frequencies (Fig. 3). The chisquare test of goodness-of-fit of the observed data to the theoretical Poisson distribution shoed no significant deviation (P-.95 ith 6 df). Cells manifesting hemadsorption ere randomly distributed in cell monolayers. The sensitivity of the hemadsorption and immunofluorescence assays for influena and parainfluena 3 viruses as compared. Although these procedures involve different indicator systems of cell infection, they are both based on infective cell counting. For both assays, inoculation and incubation of infected clone 1-5C-4 cell monolayers ere performed in a similar manner.

The latter, hoever, exhibited slightly less variability than the former. 599 DISCUSSION The feasibility of employing an assay for myxoviruses, i.e., influena and parainfluena 3, based on the enumeration of individual infected cells manifesting hemadsorption as established by the studies described here. Hemadsorption as detected approximately 7 h after virus inoculation of cell monolayers and as comparable in time to that observed previously (8). The maximal number of cells exhibiting hemadsorption occurred beteen 2 and 24 h of the primary cycle of infection. By using hemadsorption as the indicator of cell infection, resultant rates of attachment and penetration of influena virus ere similar to that attained by other means (7). The hemadsorption phenomenon appeared earlier than the production of hemagglutinins and the production of infectious virus demonstrable by immunofluorescence staining. Hemadsorption by virusinfected cells has been noted in the absence of detectable virus filaments and infectious virus particles (2, 8, 1). This suggests that the phenomenon may be attributable to an immunological structure alteration of the cell surface (1) or, more specifically, the presence of viral envelope proteins on the cell surface in the form of a "precursor" to the projections seen on virions (2). The use of primary monkey kidney cell cultures or monkey continuous cell lines for virus assays based on hemadsorption involves serious disadvantages. A specific reaction beteen erythrocytes and infected cells may occur, due to the presence of myxoviruses of simian origin that occur naturally in these cell cultures (11). In addition, nonspecific tissue hemadsorption (not only common to monkey kidney cells, but hich may also be manifested in kidney cell strains or lines derived from other animal species) may result (4). Although the established cell lines, clone 1-5C-4 and LLC-MK2 (rhesus monkey kidney), appeared to be equally susceptible to myxovirus infection, in vie of the above circumstances clone 1-5C-4 cells ere preferred as the cell line for the myxovirus hemadsorption assay. Quantitative evaluation of the assay shoed that it as highly precise, reproducible, and almost equivalent in sensitivity to virus assays based on immunofluorescent cell counting (5). Limited trials performed to compare the sensitivity of the hemadsorption assay and the hemagglutination test for assessment of myxoviruses confirmed previous findings of the superiority of the former (13). In assaying influena virus, e found that the hemadsorption assay as more than 3. log1 units higher in sensitivity than the hemagglutination test. LITERATURE CITED 1. Chanock, R. M., R. H. Parrott, K.
