Work with varicella-zoster virus has been seriously hampered by the difficulty of preparing high-titre cell free virus, and by the instability of such virus when frozen and thawed. We have evaluated the use of a range of protocols and demonstrate that relatively high titres of 19,000 plaque forming units per millilitre may be recovered after freezing in PBS-sucrose-glutamate-serum buffer (PSGC). In addition, we have shown that the virus obtained by this method gives similar results in neutralisation and antiviral susceptibility assays to that freshly prepared from infected cells, allowing the use of high titre, titrated virus stocks in such assays.
