Plaque assays are a common technique used to determine the number of infectious viral particles in a sample. This involves infecting host cells with the virus, allowing the virus to replicate and spread, and then counting the resulting plaques (areas where the host cells have died as a result of viral infection). Each plaque corresponds to a single infectious viral particle, allowing for a quantification of viral particles in the original sample.
