title: Safety factors involved in the extraction of biologically active proteins from human immunodeficiency virus.
abstract: The disruption of the viral coat of human immunodeficiency virus by Triton X-100, a nonionic detergent, is a time-dependent process which requires incubation times of 30 min or longer. Conditions for the production of a noninfectious sample from a viral pellet that can be used to measure reverse transcriptase activity were determined.
