Antibody‐dependent enhancement of viral infection: molecular mechanisms and <i>in vivo</i> implications
1 Nov 2003
Abstract excerpt
Besides the common receptor/coreceptor-dependent mechanism of cellular attachment, some viruses rely on antiviral antibodies for their efficient entry into target cells. This mechanism, known as antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) of viral infection, depends on the cross-linking of complexes of virus-antibody or virus-activated complement components through interaction with cellular molecules such as Fc...
