| Abstract: | This is an abridged version from a report on the results of researches, undertaken during studies for the degree of Master of Science in the Department of Virology of the University of Birmingham, September 1972. The experiments described in this thesis show that the neutralization of herpes simplex virus is enhanced by the presence of complement. Furthermore, this study examines the role of complement in the neutralization of herpes simplex virus by early and late antisera raised in rabbits by an immunization scheme, which differs from that employed by several authors. In the case of human infections with herpes simplex virus, the results suggest that antibodies present early in infection are dependent on complement for neutralization (CRN antibodies) while late sera contain non-CRN antibodies. |
