Inhibition of Multiplication of Rift Valley Fever Virus by Homologous Virus Irradiated with Ultraviolet Rays. 2

Abstract

The multiplication of Rift Valley fever virus is totally inhibited by an immediate injection of irradiated homologous virus. Despite the inhibition, neutralizing antibodies cannot be detected in the animal's body. Neutralizing antibodies can be found in mice given immune serum for several days after infection. Nevertheless, the virus multiplies to a considerable degree. The results suggest that neutralizing antibodies do not interfere with the inhibition in question.
