Popis: | The infectivity of LCM virus suspended in solutions buffered with Tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane and its hydrochloride has been found to be greatly stabilized. This stabilization (studied at 4° and 37° C), however, was markedly dependent on the protein content of the solution. If the protein content became too low (by dilution and/or partial purification of the virus), the Tris effect would disappear, but could be reversed if bovine serum albumin was added before inactivation studies were begun. The sensitivity of the virus to ultrasonic irradiation also followed the pattern established above (i.e. — diluted or purified virus was inactivated to a much greater extent than virus suspended in Eagle's medium plus serum). The data also indicated that sonication could break up aggregates of virus particles. |
