Biological Activity of the Nucleic Acids Extracted from Two Aerosolized Bacterial Viruses

Edward J Dubovi 1
PMCID: PMC377272  PMID: 4995853

Abstract

The infectivity of the nucleic acids of πX-174 and MS-2 was examined after aerosolization. It was found that the nucleic acids were undamaged by aerosolization.
