Further studies (Radwan et al., 1973) showed that the addition of complement to virus complexed with dependent antibody eventually resulted in lysis of the viral membrane. It was also shown (Yoshino and Taniguchi, 1966 ) that antibodies induced in guinea pigs by immunization, and in humans following herpes infection, were initially dependent and later independent of complement for neutralizing activity. A relevant observation has been made in several studies; neutralization of infectious virus-antibody complexes by antiglobulin also shows a single-hit mechanism, and at a rate that exceeds the rate of the homotypic reaction. ./cache/cord-268417-6eyetb5i.txt ./txt/cord-268417-6eyetb5i.txt
