[Adsorption of virus onto ionic surfactants of polypropylene fibers]
Objective:
To provide better laboratory protection material in virology lab to prevent laboratory accident infection.
Methods:
The four kinds of ionic polypropylene fibers were constructed and interact with recombinant adenovirus expressing GFP. Both the GFP expression and hexon gene expression of recombiant adenovirus were used to evaluate absorb ability of fibers.
Results:
Both the amphoteric and iron ionic polypropylene fibers have certain adsorption or inactivated ability to virus in 5 min, the other two fibers decreased the growth within 20 min.
Conclusion:
Both the amphoteric and iron ionic polypropylene fibers can be used as laboratory protection material in virology lab.
