Which type of assay uses a variety of endpoint measurements to determine whether the virus is inhibited by the antiviral drug or is demonstrating drug resistance?
a. Phenotypic
b. Genotypic
c. NA inhibition assay
d. Enzyme immunoassay
A
Phenotypic assays use a variety of endpoint measurements to determine whether the virus is in-hibited by the antiviral drug or is demonstrating drug resistance. Some of these endpoint mea-surements include a reduction in the number of plaques, an inhibition of viral deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) synthesis, a reduction in the yield of a viral structural protein, and a reduction of the enzymatic activity of a functional protein.
