We interrogate the model using a Latin Hypercube sensitivity analysis to identify which mechanisms are critical to the observed infection of host cells and the release of measured virus particles. We also show that the model can explain the experimentally observed virus titer data and allows a deeper understanding of the infection dynamics in the in vitro experiments. Infectious: Assembled virion is being released from the host cell according to the release function (Section 2.4) By examining the experimental viral titer data shown in Figure 1 we derived temporal delay of the state transition between Containing and Infectious. p BP represents the probability of a virus-receptor binding event leading to a cell's infection by a single viral particle during a given model time step. ./cache/cord-262524-ununcin0.txt ./txt/cord-262524-ununcin0.txt
