The Serology of Newcastle Virus Infection

[摘要] 1. 1. Cross-neutralization tests were done with chicken and rabbit antisera, prepared against 3 strains of Newcastle virus and against a strain of mumps and of swine influenza virus. All 3 strains of Newcastle virus produced antisera effective against each other.2. 2. Both chicken and rabbit antisera against mumps failed to neutralize Newcastle virus.3. 3. Chicken antisera to Newcastle virus failed to neutralize mumps virus; but rabbit antisera prepared to the 3 strains of Newcastle gave inconsistent results against mumps and the possible relation of Newcastle and mumps viruses under this condition is being further tested.4. 4. Several human sera with high titers of neutralization antibodies against Newcastle were successfully absorbed with mumps virus. The absorption was successful particularly when a dilution of the serum was used, and includes 1 serum which had a low titer of neutralization against mumps itself.
