Neutralizing Antibodies in Abortive Poliomyelitis

Transitory Appearance of Type 2 Neutralizing Antibody in Patients Infected with Type 1 Poliomyelitis Virus

Neutralizing antibodies for Type 2 (Lansing) poliomyelitis virus were tested periodically in a group of 18 patients from whom Type 1 poliomyelitis virus was recovered. Data for homotypic neutralizing antibodies and Type 2 complement-fixing antibodies were also available on the majority of these patients. The results indicated that Type 2 neutralizing antibodies first appeared or significantly i...

Complement-fixing Antibodies to Type 2 (lansing) Poliomyelitis Virus in a Normal Population of a Subtropical Area

Sera collected in 1950 from the native population in the vicinity of Cairo, Egypt, have been tested for complement-fixing antibodies to Type 2 (Lansing) poliomyelitis virus. Complement-fixing antibodies are confined to the age of 1 to 9 years if a serum dilution of 1:4 is used in the test, or to the age of 1 to 4 years with a serum dilution of 1:16. A comparison has been made of the findings ob...

Complement-fixing Antibodies to Type 2 (lansing) Poliomyelitis Virus in a Normal Population of a Siybtropical Area* by Natan

Following the adaptation of the MEF1 strain of poliomyelitis virus to infant mice, Casals, Olitsky, and Anslow (1) were able to prepare from the central nervous system of these mice an antigen for the detection of complementfixing (c-f) antibodies to Type 2 poliomyelitis virus (2). Thus, another parameter different from the neutralizing antibody test, has been added for measuring poliomyelitis ...

Levels of Homotypic Neutralizing Antibody in Human Poliomyelitis T H R E E Years after Infection* by Johan

I t has been demonstrated that patients with poliomyelitis, as a rule, have neutralizing antibody for the infecting strain of virus early after onset of first symptoms before the appearance of paralysis, and that this antibody increases in titer during convalescence (1, 2). For a better understanding of human immunity to poliomyelitis and of the part immune individuals may play in the dissemina...
