In clinical virology the use of embryonated eggs are frequently used because viruses need something living for the viruses characteristics to come out. It is frowned upon to use monkey and rats for this during school so embryonated eggs are the next best things.

Is TCID50 correlated with EID50?

TCID50 (Tissue Culture Infectious Dose 50) and EID50 (Egg Infectious Dose 50) are both measures used to quantify the infectivity of viruses, but they are not directly correlated as they assess infectivity in different host systems. TCID50 measures the amount of virus required to infect 50% of cultured cells, while EID50 measures the amount needed to infect 50% of embryonated eggs. While both can provide insights into viral virulence and transmission, their values may vary based on the specific virus and the biological context. Thus, correlation between the two can depend on the virus in question and the experimental conditions used.
