FOERFARANDE FOER FRAMSTAELLNING AV ANTIGENISKA IMMUNOGENISKA SUBUNITS AV HSV-1 OCH HSV-2

摘要

Herpes virus subunit antigens suitable for vaccine use are prepared by (1) treating virus-infected cells with a surfactant and varying concentrations of salt to extract and solubilize viral-directed glycoproteins, (2) fractionating the solubilized material by chromatographic procedures to enrich the viral-directed glycoproteins and to remove unwanted proteins and nucleic acids, and (3) optionally treating the subunit antigens with deoxyribonuclease and formaldehyde to assure safety.
