Postabsorption neutralization of poliovirus.

RESUMO
Nineteen neutralizing murine monoclonal antibodies against poliovirus type 1, including representatives reacting with each of the antigenic sites on the virion, were tested for their abilities to neutralize the virus either before or after attachment to susceptible cells. All antibodies neutralized unattached virus; six had reasonable titers of postabsorption neutralization (PAN). Experiments with antibodies lacking PAN activity showed that Fc-specific rabbit anti-mouse antibodies could confer PAN activity. PAN was shown to involve the prevention of the cell-mediated conversion of virus to 135S and 80S particles. Evidence that one of the PAN-positive antibodies probably bound bivalently to preabsorbed virions, whereas a PAN-negative antibody bound monovalently, is presented. Two PAN-positive antibodies were added to an excess of virus in suspension, and only one antibody caused the virus to aggregate.
