| Abstract: | Rat alpha-1- and alpha-2-macroglobulins as well as rat murinoglobulins I and II were shown to inhibit hemagglutination by influenza C virus. In marked contrast, neither alpha-macroglobulins nor murinoglobulins from mouse or guinea pig plasma had the inhibitory activity. These results suggest that the hemagglutination-inhibiting activity of rat alpha-macroglobulins or murinoglobulins is not related to their protease-binding capacity. |
