Abstract excerpt
Influenza A virus variants were found to be capable of inducing synthesis of avid antibodies when different species and lines of animals were immunized. CBA mice were the most convenient model permitting differentiation of "avidogenic" from "nonavidogenic" virus variants with a high degree of certainty. Recombinants may differ from parental viruses in their capacity to induce synthesis of avid antibody; with...
