We therefore tried it for the separation of adeno-associated viruses (AAV) from adenoviruses, including the structural components of the latter. The results presented here indicate that chromatography on Sepharose 2B (Pharmacia, Uppsala, Sweden) represents a useful step for such separation. The source of AAV and adenovirus was similar to that used in previous studies (Hoggan, Blacklow & Rowe, 1966) with adenovirus type 7, strain LLE46+, containing the adenovirus SV40 hybrid and AAV type 1. The viruses were grown in African green monkey kidney cells. The preparation of [3H]thymidine labelled adenovirus type 7 and the measurement of radioactivity are described in a subsequent paper (A. R. Neurath, B. A. Rubin & R. W. Hartzell, 1969, in preparation). %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/jgv/10.1099/0022-1317-5-3-451
