Abstract
Aberrant inactivation kinetics were observed when monodispersed echovirus type 1 (Farouk) was inactivated with chlorine. An initial 1- to 2-log10-unit decrease in titer was followed by lag period, during which the titer stayed the same or increased, and this was followed by a final decline in titer. First-order kinetics were obtained with poliovirus type 1 under the same conditions. Isoelectric focusing studies of echovirus before chlorine treatment showed that the virus distributed into two pH-dependent and interconvertible isoelectric forms. After chlorine treatment all remaining virus infectivity was associated with a third pH-independent isoelectric form. The complex inactivation kinetics appeared to be due to shifts between these conformational forms during inactivation in certain ionic environments. Under certain conditions the conformational shifts resulted in substantial resistance of monodispersed echovirus to chlorine.
