Hepatitis C virus is reported to have a low buoyant density in sucrose. To determine the density of hepatitis C virus in the circulation of infected hosts and its association with the degree of liver inflammation, we examined serum samples from 10 patients who were positive for both hepatitis C viru

Abstract
Hepatitis A virus (HAV) recovered from stools of human cases of hepatitis A and from stools of chimpanzees experimentally infected with HAV was shown to possess multiple buoyant densities in CsCl gradients. The greatest proportion of HAV was most frequently found at a buoyant density of 1.32β1.34 g/cm^3^, however, large proportions of HAV were also frequently found at higher densities, including 1.36β1.37, 1.40β1.42, and 1.45β1.48 g/cm^3^. These findings are consistent with the notion that HAV may be a parvovirus.
