Purification of viruses

With some Viruses this is easy, especially if the virus particle differs markedly in size from that of the normal cell contents. With other viruses purification may be much more difficult, if for instance the virus exists in very low concentration in the host. For this reason a number of viruses have never been isolated.

Purification of Plant Viruses: 5 Steps

The following points highlight the five main steps involved in purification of plant viruses. 1. Infected leaves are thoroughly homogenized in water or preferably in phosphate, borate or citrate buffer in an electric grinder or in a mortar with pestle (Fig. 13.15). 2. Tissue homogenate is strained through a piece of muslin cloth (or cheese cloth).

Purification of Plant Viruses

Isolation and purification of plant viruses are performed to separate virus particles from plant constituents. Purified virus preparations are required to study the chemical, physical, biological, serological and molecular properties of a virus.
