Antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) is shown on the left. Antibody opsonization and activation of the complement leads to antibody-dependent, complement-mediated virolysis, phagocytosis directed against free virions or infected cells (only the free virus is shown) are shown on the right.
