Abstract
THE enzyme of V. choleræ which destroys the capacity of red cells to agglutinate with viruses of the influenza group1 closely parallels these viruses in many aspects of its action on the red cell surface2. Investigations were, therefore, made to determine whether this receptor-destroying enzyme could alter the reactivity of tissue cells normally susceptible to infection with influenza virus.
