SPOTTER: a new tool to measure viral plaques. The plaque assay is a classical virological technique, originally developed for bacteriophages by Felix d'Herelle (1917). Dulbecco and Vogt subsequently adapted the assay for mammalian viruses, and it is still widely used for virus isolation and purification, and to determine viral titers. The plaque assay is also frequently used to study in vitro growth properties of mutant viruses. A freeware program,called SPOTTER, operating under Win95 and up, allows convenient and precise analysis of large numbers of plaques.
