Virus-binding particles, virus-separating reagent, separation of viruses, and detection of viruses

摘要

Particles capable of being bound by viruses, having a particle diameter of 0.05 mu m to 300 mu m and having either a cationic group or an anionic group or both at their surfaces. Also disclosed are a method of separating or detecting viruses and a virus-separating reagent, which make use of such particles. The particles enable simultaneous and simple treatment of a large number of specimens by a simple means.
