Abstract
The present invention concerns a method of testing the viral susceptibility of a compound. It includes the steps of mixing subject cells infected with a virus with target cells. The target cells of the compound include a marker. Another step includes stimulating viral production. The mixture is then subjected to at least one antiviral compound. Viral production in the target cells is then detected.
