Naturally occurring antiglobulin factors in virus neutralization: homoreactant as a factor enhancing neutralization of the infectious complex of poliovirus with the Fab' antibody fragment.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A factor present in normal rabbit sera enhanced the neutralization of the infectious complex of poliovirus with the pepsin Fab' fragment of rabbit immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibody but showed no activity for the infectious complex of the same virus with IgG antibody. The factor was associated with IgG, and its activity was inhibited by the pepsin Fab' fragment of normal rabbit IgG. The data suggest that the enhancing factor belongs to naturally occurring antiglobulin to the homologous Fab' fragment (pepsin homoreactant).

A Sensitive Neutralization Assay for Influenza C Viruses Based on the Acetylesterase Activity HEF Glycoprotein
Influenza C virus possesses specific neuraminate-O-acetylesterase as a receptor-destroying function. This enzymatic activity of the viral glycoprotein HEF (Hemagglutinin, esterase activity and fusion factor) can be visualized in situ by the use of distinct color substrates. Hereby the localization, as well as the quantity of synthesized HEF protein is detectable. We further developed the estera...

BACKGROUND: Infectious Bovine Rhinotrachitis (IBR) caus-ed by Bovine Herpes Virus-1 (BoHV-1) was first, observed in one of the Tehran Industrial cattle breeders, with importation of cattle in 1965. Later, the isolation of bovine herpes virus approved the existence of the disease in the most of the provinces of the Iran. OBJECTIVES: Presence of antibodies against BoHV-1 was evaluated in young bo...
