Analysis of Influenza Viruses by Pyrolysis Gas Chromatography

Five strains of influenza and one strain of newcastle disease virus were analysed by pyrolysis gas chromatography (PGC). The different patterns between the normal and the infected allantois fluid samples which included influenza viruses type A, B and newcastle disease virus were clearly shown in the pyrograms. But the differences among the influenza subtype A_1, A_2, and A_3 were not clear. Their pyrograms showed similar characters.From the above findings it was concluded that PGC can be used as a tool for ...
