1. A method for monitoring circovirus production in a host cell culture infected with circovirus, the method comprising:
a) monitoring expression of ORF1 and/or ORF2 in adherent and non-adherent host cells using a fluorescent antibody cell sorting (FACS)-based method; and
b) plotting expression of ORF1 and/or ORF2 over time; thereby monitoring circovirus production in the host cell culture.
