This method can help answer key questions in the field of viral immunology, such as, which host factors restrict arbovirus replication, and, in turn, which virus-encoded immune evasion proteins overcome these host restriction mechanisms. The main

Here, we present the protocols to identify 1) virus-encoded immunomodulators that promote arbovirus replication and 2) eukaryotic host factors that restrict arbovirus replication. These fluorescence- and luminescence-based methods allow researchers to rapidly obtain quantitative readouts of arbovirus replication in simplistic assays with low signal-to-noise ratios.
