Abstract

We describe an improved method for purification of herpes simplex virus. The primary improvement is the use of glycerol shock treatment to lyse infected cells. This is a rapid and simple technique that efficiently extracts the cytoplasm from the nucleus, while preserving nuclear integrity. Nearly 100% cell lysis is achieved by this method, and cytoplasmic virus yield is optimal. Other improvements to increase virus yield and purity and to economize on equipment are described.
