Abstract
Antiserum against murine cytomegalovirus produced in the rabbit contained complement (C′)-requiring neutralizing (CRN) antibody. The proportion of CRN was extremely high (up to 98%) during the early portion of an immunization procedure, whereas the antisera produced late had a much lower proportion that required C′. The antiserum produced was specific for MCMV with or without C′.
