Effects and mechanism of the interaction between ceruloplasmin and some viruses or subviral components
Abstract
The results of investigations concerning the interaction between ceruloplasmin (a serum nonspecific inhibitor) and some myxo- and paramyxoviruses, as well as certain viruses with oncogenic potential (herpes virus, SV--40) are reviewed. The data presented point out the inhibiting action of ceruloplasmin on virus multiplication and the ceruloplasmin-induced modification in the antigenicity of Sendai virus and subviral fractions. The stages and mechanisms of ceruloplasmin action are discussed.
