cytopathic effect

cy·to·path·ic ef·fect

degenerative changes in cells (especially in tissue culture) associated with the multiplication of certain viruses; when, in tissue culture, spread of virus is restricted by an overlay of agar (or other suitable substance) the cytopathic effect may lead to formation of plaque.

cytopathic effect

The characteristic changes which occur in virally-infected cells in tissue culture, which provides a presumptive means of identifying viruses obtained from a clinical specimen—e.g., adenovirus produces grape-like clusters in HEK cells; rhinovirus produces irregular, rounded “dew drop” changes in culture cells; rubella is diagnosed by exclusion, as it interferes with the CPE of other viruses.
