Chromatography of Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMV) on Chitin Columns P. M. TOWNSLEY Research Station, Canada Department of Agriculture, 6660 N.W. Marine Drive, Vancouver 8, B.C. WHILE performing experiments on infected tobacco plant fibre to determine the virus-releasing enzymic activity of crude mushroom extracts (Townsley, P. M., unpublished results), it was noted that added chitin strongly adsorbed tobacco mosaic virus. At least a portion of the adsorbed virus could be released with concentrated phosphate buffers. This investigation describes the Chromatographic properties of chitin for TMV. © 1961 Nature Publishing Group Privacy Policy | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
