title: In vitro assays for detecting neutralizing and fusion-inhibiting antibodies to SIVMAC251.
abstract: Sensitive and reproducible assays for SIV infection and syncytium formation have been developed in which high titers of neutralizing and fusion-inhibiting antibodies can be recorded. These assays will contribute toward our understanding of the role of humoral responses in SIV vaccine strategies.
