Cytomegalovirus neutralization assay using different sera measured by counting fluorescently labeled infected cells
Detection of Alexa Fluor 647 (AF647)-labeled infected host cells
The example image below shows the low number of infected cells with high serum concentration in fluorescence using AF647.

The number of infected cells are counted and dose response curves are generated for 4 different sera, where the IC50 values are calculated. The Celigo™ image cytometer is able to output the counted results directly to Microsoft Excel for analysis
