Effect of Intense Sonic Vibrations on Elementary Bodies of Vaccinia
نویسندگان
چکیده
Thoroughly washed elementary bodies of vaccinia were inactivated by sonic vibrations with a frequency of about 8900 cycles per second; the inactivation was not accompanied by a disruption of the bodies. Adventitious substances, notably protein, prevented or hindered the inactivation. There is some evidence that oxidation might have played a rôle in the inactivation.

Elementary Bodies of Vaccinia from Infected Chorio-allantoic Membranes of Developing Chick Embryos
By a method of differential centrifugation and tryptic digestion suspensions of elementary bodies have been prepared from chorioallantoic membranes of chick embryos infected with vaccine virus. The infective titer of the final suspension of elementary bodies was usually the same as that of the original tissue emulsion. Elementary bodies from infected chick membranes were agglutinated as well by...
متن کاملConstituents of Elementary Bodies of Vaccinia I. Certain Basic Analyses and Observations on Lipid Components of the Virus by Charles
Five years ago preliminary chemical analyses of elementary bodies of vaccinia, consisting of an estimation of protein, fat, and ash, were reported from this laboratory (1). The subject was not pursued further at that time because the purity of the virus preparations was a matter of some doubt. Numerous developments within the past few years have eliminated much of the uncertainty on this score....
متن کاملObservations on Mixtures of Elementary Bodies of Vaccinia and Coated Collodion Particles by Means of Ultracentrifugation and Electrophoresis
It has been shown experimentally that mixtures of two types of particles, namely, elementary bodies of vaccinia and collodion particles coated with protein, sediment with a single boundary in the analytical centrifuge. Such mixtures have been shown to develop one or two boundaries on electrophoresis in the Tiselius apparatus, depending on the type of coating on the surface of the collodion part...
متن کاملSome Constituents of Elementary Bodies of Vaccinia
Treatment of elementary bodies of vaccinia with dilute solutions of sodium hydroxide resulted in the extraction of certain soluble materials accounting for half of the dry weight of the virus. Elementary bodies contained about 0.4 per cent inorganic phosphorus, practically all of which occurred in the form of a nucleoprotein containing thymus nucleic acid. In addition, a substance was recovered...
متن کاملUltracentrifugation Studies on the Elementary Bodies of Vaccine Virus
ULTRACENTRIFUGAL STUDIES OF THE CL DERMAL STRAIN OF VACCINE VIRUS WARRANT THE FOLLOWING CONCLUSIONS: 1. When suspended in increasing concentrations of sucrose, glycerol, or urea solutions, elementary bodies of vaccinia show variations in sedimentation rate which indicate changes in the density or size of the particles. For a given change in the density of the medium these changes are smallest w...
