MATERIALS AND METHODS RELATING TO INCREASING VIRAL TITRE

摘要

The invention provides methods for increasing viral titre in a sample. The methods utilize specific binding members such as lectins and antibodies to bind the virus particles such that they can be concentrated. The invention further provides methods for isolating viral particles from a sample, e.g. blood. There is also provided materials and methods for targeting viral particles to particular tissues using antibodies or paramagnetic particles.
