The neutralization of human adenovirus 5 and 11 by homologous and heterologous rabbit antisera was determined by CPE inhibition in various cell cultures (HeLa, HEL, Vero, secondary kidney cells from cercopithecus, rabbit, mouse), or in HeLa cells made impermissive by IUdR inhibition. The results concerning sensitivity and specificity were similar in all cases. Crude and purified virus showed similar neutralization. Immunofluorescence neutralization in HeLa cell cultures gave similar results; this method is suitable for demonstrating subtle immunological relations between adenovirus types. The neutralization of the early cytopathic factor ('cytotoxin') showed a pattern of cross-reactivity different from the virion; the cytotoxin was found to be active in part of the cell cultures only. It is concluded from the results that the virus function(s) blocked by antibody appear to be identical for the replicative cycle in infection and for the initiation of the abortive infection in non-permissive cells. Hence, either kind of cells may be used for neutralization tests.
