Isoelectric focusing of herpes simplex virus

Archives of Virology Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Herpes simplex virus was inserted into a preformed stable pH gradient and electrofocused for about one hour. Dextran was used as the density gradient forming agent. Virions banded at pH 4.9±0.1 and nucleocapsids at 4.1±0.05. About 10–20 per cent of infective virus was recovered.
