| Abstract |
Virus isolation and purification is an invaluable technique in virology to detect and characterize viruses. This chapter describes a large-scale Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) propagation and purification methods by using discontinuous sucrose gradient, and sample preparation for transmission electron microscopy. Sucrose-banding yields large quantities of high-titer (10(10) pfu/ml) CHIKV stocks. Such stocks are stable for years when stored at -70 °C. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 23 July 2023.
All research outputs
#21,625,765
of 24,137,435 outputs
Outputs from Methods in molecular biology
#10,424
of 13,615 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#299,778
of 343,904 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Methods in molecular biology
#15
of 17 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,137,435 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 13,615 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.5. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 343,904 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 17 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
