title: Inhibition of virus attachment to CPK cells by monoclonal antibody to transmissible gastroenteritis virus.
abstract: Five MAbs, which recognized E2 glycoprotein of TGE virus TO-163 and showed neutralizing activity, were examined to see if they inhibit virus attachment to the susceptible cells (CPK cells). Only one (160/4) MAb blocked the virus attachment to the cells, indicating that the inhibition of virus attachment is one of important mechanisms of neutralizing by antibody.
