Concentration and Partial Purification of Poliovirus by means of Zinc Hydroxide and Ion-exchanging Resin

Newton and Bevis1 concentrated some animal viruses by adding zinc hydroxide to the virus suspension and afterwards dissolving the gel in saturated ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid solution in order to recover the virus. Attempts made in our laboratory to concentrate poliovirus by this method yielded unsatisfactory results.
