Isolation and characterization of hepatitis A virus.
This paper presents current isolation technics of hepatitis A virus (HAV) from human and chimpanzee stool, liver, and bile specimens, as well as comparative characterizations of HAV buoyant density properties of human and chimpanzee stool-derived particles. In addition, methods designed for the extraction and purification of HAV from large samples of stool and liver tissues, including agar gel filtration, are discussed in detail.
