IFV purification. Polarized MDCK cells were infected with IFV, and virus particles were collected after 24 h. (A) A pure virus preparation was obtained by gradient centrifugations and was analyzed by SDS-PAGE and silver staining. (B) Electron micrograph of the virus preparation with negative stain. The inset shows a higher magnification of the same preparation. Molecular markers are given in kilodaltons. NP, influenza nucleoprotein.
