| Plaque Notes | The plaques were at times variable in size, but picking larger or small plaques always led to variable sizes. The edges were very jagged and not extremely circular. They did not have halos and were clear. Toward the last two purifications and for the MTL and HTL production and titer, the plaques did become more uniform. |
