title: [Activation of the alternative complement pathway by Newcastle disease virus. I) Effect of the virus on the complement system in vivo and in vitro].
abstract: The authors have studied the effect of the paramyxovirus of Newcastle disease on the complement system in the mouse. The results obtained show that NDV activate both in vivo and in vitro the alternative complement pathway, suggesting that the intervention of complement system during viral infections represents a general biological phenomenon.
