| Summary: | This is the first comprehensive review of the neutralization of animal viruses for several decades, intended to provide a clear exposition of current knowledge and to outline avenues for future research. The approach is mechanistic; its aim is to understand the process of neutralization and, ultimately, to demonstrate how neutralizing and/or protective antibody can be stimulated in vivo. Chapters discuss the ways in which neutralizing IgG, A and M affect the interactions of virus with its host cell, quantitative aspects of neutralization, neutralization by fragments of antibody, neutralization in vivo, and the evo- lutionarysignificance of the possession of neutralization sites. In addition, individual chapters are devoted to the neutralization of poliovirus, influenza virus and HIV. |
