The goal of this project was to test Pichinde virus isolates for in vitro and in vivo viability, and to determine the best candidate for a new progenitor stock. This determination was made through plaque assays for the in vitro study, and through ICCS FACS analysis for the in vivo study. The results indicate that the #11 72h Pichinde isolate was the best candidate because it grew consistently to a high titer in vitro and produced the most pronounced immune response in vivo.
