Some Applications of Detergents to the Study of the Virus of Foot-and-Mouth Disease

Abstract
SUMMARY: The virus of foot-and-mouth disease is highly resistant to the detergents sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS), cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) and Tween 80. Results are recorded which show the possibilities of using SDS in the extraction of virus from infected cells, in concentrating virus by elution from adsorbents, and in increasing yields in the filtration and ultracentrifugation of virus suspensions.
