THE CRYOBIOLOGY OF VIRUSES CLASSIFIED ACCORDING TO THEIR CHEMICAL, PHYSICAL, AND STRUCTURAL CHARACTERISTICS.

Author(s) : GREIFF D.

Summary

THE AUTHOR CLASSIFIED THE VIRUSES AFFECTING MAMMALS INTO EIGHT GROUPS. VIRUSES OF EACH GROUP WERE SUBJECTED TO DEFINED FREEZE-DRYING CONDITIONS. THE RESULTS WERE AS FOLLOWS: 1. DNA (DESOXYRIBONUCLEIC ACID) VIRUSES WERE LESS AFFECTED THAN RNA VIRUSES (RIBONUCLEIC ACID) ; 2. PROTECTED DNA VIRUSES WERE LESS AFFECTED THAN NAKED DNA VIRUSES ; 3. DNA VIRUSES WITH UN-STEADY PH WERE LESS AFFECTED THAN THOSE WITH STEADY PH ; 4. THE INSTABILITY OR STABILITY OF PH AFFECTED THE CRYOTOLERANCE OF DNA VIRUSES, BUT NOT OF RNA VIRUSES ; 5. SOLVENT-RESISTANT RNA VIRUSES AND SOLVENT-SENSITIVE DNA VIRUSES WERE NOT AFFECTED BY FREEZING.
