Adenovirus Antibody and Antibody to ‘T’ Antigen (Neoantigen) Location in Gamma-globulin

Abstract

THE properties and possible functions of the complement-fixing tumour and ‘T’ antigens (neoantigens) of adenoviruses and papovaviruses as related to virus infection and transformation have already been described1–6. The present communication reports the first of a series of investigations dealing with the location of antibodies to the ‘T’ antigen and to the virion of various adenoviruses.
