Abstract
A method of purification of non-enveloped or pseudo-enveloped virus produced in vitro uses a composition with at least one detergent. A method of purification can use multiple detergents, and a method of determining the presence and/or level of a non-enveloped or pseudo-enveloped virus in a sample includes treating with at least one detergent.
Claims27
A method of purifying a non-enveloped or a pseudo-enveloped virus propagated in cell culture, the method comprising a step of treating a sample comprising the non-enveloped or the pseudo-enveloped virus with a detergent.
A method of measuring a level of a non-enveloped or a pseudo-enveloped virus in a sample, the method comprising the steps of:
- a) providing the sample to a mixture comprising a cell line and a culture medium;
- b) incubating to allow propagation of the non-enveloped or the pseudo-enveloped virus, if present in the sample, to obtain an incubated portion;
- c) treating with at least one detergent, to obtain a treated portion;
- d) collecting a part of the treated portion, to obtain a collected portion;
- and
- e) measuring the level of the non-enveloped or the pseudo-enveloped virus in the collected portion.
