Degradation of influenza virus by non-ionic detergent

PMCID: PMC2130778  PMID: 5266589

Abstract

Preparations of influenza virus A0 PR8/34 and A2 Malaysia/68 have been studied in the electron microscope. They were similar in appearance to preparations made by others. Each preparation was degraded by Triton N 101. The process of degradation appeared to be different from that observed using ether and, by inference, a number of other agents.
