You have discovered what you think is a new herpesvirus. You have a tube of serum containing the potential virus. When you have looked at it using electron microscopy, you see what you think are herpesvirus particles, at a concentration of about 2.4 x 109 particles/ml. But this does not always equate with titer. What assay would you typically use to figure out the titer of your virus in your serum sample?
