title: Biophysical comparisons of calicivirus serotypes isolated from pinnipeds.
abstract: Biophysical properties of three new San Miquel sea lion virus isolates from pinnipeds were examined and compared with those of previously characterized serotypes. The caliciviruses showed an identical sedimentation rate of 183S in 5-20% sucrose. Buoyant densities in CsCl were in the range of 1.35-1.39 g/ml, with differences among the serotypes.
