Abstract excerpt
Some of mouse hepatitis virus strains contain an optional envelope glycoprotein, hemagglutinin-esterase (HE) protein. To understand the functional significance of this protein, monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) specific for this protein were generated and used for passive immunization of mice. None of these MAbs showed any virus-neutralizing activity in vitro; however, mice passively immunized with the purified MAbs...
