Purification and Concentration of Influenza Types A and B by Chromatography on Calcium Phosphate

M Lapidus 1
PMCID: PMC377730  PMID: 5772390

Abstract

A rapid chromatographic method for the isolation of types A and B influenza virus from allantoic fluid was described. The adsorbent was prepared from calcium dihydrogen orthophosphate monohydrate [Ca(H2PO4)2·H2O] by alkali treatment. The addition of sodium trimetaphosphate to the influenza-infected allantoic fluid afforded a 67 to 100% viral recovery and a 26 to 43-fold increase in purity.
