At the indicated time points after virus deposition, one piece of the contaminated cloth was transferred into a glass test tube, immediately followed by the addition of 1,000 µl ice-cold Dulbecco's phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) without Ca 2+ and Mg 2+ , but containing 0.1% BSA. After leaving for 20 min in air, the cloths were transferred to glass test tubes, the contaminated virus was extracted with PBS containing 0.1% BSA by vigorous mixing with a Vortex mixer, and the amount of infectious virus recovered in the extract was measured. These observations support the importance of water in the deposit for the maintenance of the infectivity and transmissibility of influenza virus on contaminated clothes. ./cache/cord-272099-26nhza2s.txt ./txt/cord-272099-26nhza2s.txt
