Abstract
A method for determining the number or concentration of virus particles in a sample by use of a light scattering detector. The method may be used to quantitate purified virus preparations or virus samples containing contaminants, including ultraviolet light-absorbing contaminants, such as proteins. The method is useful for quantitation of viruses for use in gene therapy, oncolytic viruses for tumor cell lysis and virus-based vaccines.
