Mechanism of antibody-mediated viral clearance in immunotherapy of respiratory syncytial virus infection of cotton rats

Abstract

Antibody-mediated clearance of respiratory syncytial virus from cotton rat pulmonary tissues occurs in the absence of complement and in the absence of the Fc portion of the immunoglobulin G molecule, suggesting that complement-independent, cell-independent neutralization is the major mechanism of clearance.
