Diminished virucidal activity of kethoxal against vesicular stomatitis virus pretreated with guanidinating reagent and proteases

Acta Virol. 1976 Apr;20(2):119-25.

Abstract

The reactivity of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) with kethoxal can be appreciably altered by treatment with 1-guanyl-3, 5-dimethyl pyrazole nitrate (GDMP) and proteolytic enzymes. Pretreatment of purified VSV with GDMP or proteolytic enzymes markedly reduced the effectiveness of kethoxal as a virucide. The rate of neutralizability of GDMP- and trypsin-treated viruses by specific antiserum differed from that of controls.
