Purification of Single- and Double-Length M13 Virions by Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis

Jacques Beaudoin 1,2,1, Timothy J Henry 1,2,2, David Pratt 1,2,3
PMCID: PMC355318  PMID: 4589859

Abstract

Complete separation of single- and double-length M13 virions from each other and from still-longer phage particles was achieved by electrophoresis of phage stocks through 2.5% polyacrylamide gels.
