In-house practicals are fun!!! I love every part of it. It was definitely innovative and exhilarating. My first practical was to make a virus. We had to use all the basic components of the virus to create our own virus. We named our virus Discophage! GeeZum!!! Oh! We won the first prize - Chocolate and candies!
Our discophage rocks, isnt it? We named that because it will bounce up if you nudge it.
This week practical was totally awesome!! We got to infect fowlpox virus into an egg embryo. We had infected at the CAM site. Hence, the pock formation will be expected to be found on CAM. However, the poor chick embryo turned blacked because it had died. =(
This is what it looks like before infecting with fowlpox virus.
Note: you can actually see the eye of the chick!
This is what it looks like after infecting with fowlpox virus.
To veiw the result for the pock formation, we had to cut the egg. Yes! You never got me wrong! WE HAD TO CUT the egg longitudinally using a pair of sissor. If you think it was easy, hell no! You had to cut with care, if not the fluid will ooze out and hence you will have hard time figuring out the result.
I am sorry for posting up those disgusting pictures. I bet you had a hard time cracking your egg now.
