Abstract

THE successful application of affinity chromatography to the isolation of Aleutian disease (AD) virus has provided an opportunity for characterization of the agent1. Although AD was described in 1958, the agent had remained incompletely defined and the various strains used by researchers uncharacterized2. Before the work reported here characterization of AD virus was difficult because the only available assay consisted of producing the disease in mink.
