Distribution of viruses during cold ethanol fractionation of human plasma
Virus | Plasma | Fraction I | Fraction II + III (Ppt A) | Fraction III (Ppt B) | Fraction II (Ppt GG) |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Mouse retrovirus [16] | 8.4 | NA | 7.6 | 3.2 | ND |
HIV [16] | 5.6 | NA | 4.7 | 3.2 | ND |
BVDV [19] | 6.9 | >5.9 | 6.8 | 6.4 | NT |
HBV antigen [62] | 5.6 | ND | 4.7 | 7.7 | ND |
Data are expressed as log10 of virus concentrations (per ml). NT = not tested; NA = not applicable; ND = not detectable.
