Molecular Indications of Protein Damage in Adenoviruses after UV Disinfection
4 Dec 2010
Abstract excerpt
Adenoviruses are resistant to monochromatic, low-pressure (LP) UV disinfection--but have been shown to be susceptible to inactivation by polychromatic, medium-pressure (MP) UV--when assayed using cell culture infectivity. One possible explanation for the difference between UV lamp types is that the additional UV wavelengths emitted by MP UV enable it to cause greater damage to viral proteins than LP UV. The...
