Virus purification and analysis using OptiPrep™ - competitive media • Sucrose • Glycerol • Caesium chloride
SOLUTION HANDLING • Density solutions prepared by diluting OptiPrep™ with culture medium or any balanced salt solution (Application Sheet V01) • Sterile solution • CsCl/sucrose solutions require lengthy preparation times and sterilization • CsCl is expensive
CsCl PROBLEMS • Big losses in viral infectivity; low recoveries; high particle:infectivity ratios • Solutions have very high osmolality: viruses lose water; high virus density; high [CsCl] required for gradients • Highly toxic to cells: must be dialyzed prior to re-infection of cells • Solutions ionic and corrosive: samples must be dialyzed before electrophoresis or HPLC
SUCROSE PROBLEMS (I) • Solutions are hyperosmotic:virus density in sucrose usually higher than in iodixanol • Solutions are viscous: slow sedimentation of virus particles • Highly toxic to cells: must be dialyzed prior to re-infection of cells
OPTIPREP – NO PROBLEMS • Solutions are isoosmotic: virus density is low • Solutions have low viscosity: rapid sedimentation of virus particles • Is non-toxic to cells • Has little or no effect on virus infectivity • Cells can be re-infected and electrophoresis and HPLC performed without dialysis

SUCROSE PROBLEMS (II):for enveloped viruses, particularly retroviruses • Sucrose gradients cause loss of virus surface glycoproteins; no loss with iodixanol gradients • Infectivity recoveries are 10-100x greater in iodixanol than in sucrose
