## Abstract Samples of colostrum, maternal blood, and cord blood from a group of 21 women were examined for the presence of cellular reactivity to respiratory syncytial (RS) virus using a transformation assay and for the level of specific IgA, IgG, and IgM antibodies to RS virus by membrane immunof
Serum samples of 769 healthy Venezuelan donors were assayed for natural antibodies to HTLV-I by the ELISA technique. Specific HTLV-I antibody prevalence was 6.8% but varied from 1% in Caracas to 13.7% in the Amazonas region and the State of Zulia. Adults infected with Trypanosoma cruzi had the highe
## Abstract Subgroup A respiratory syncytial viruses present in respiratory secretions and low passage level cell culture isolates were found to be markedly less susceptible to neutralization with monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) to the F glycoprotein than the cell culture adapted A2 virus strain. Low
## Abstract Natural humoral cytotoxic antibodies from 13β and 18βmonthβold BALB/c mice showed a virusβspecific complementβdependent activity against target cells productively infected with xenotropic, amphotropic or ecotropic typeβC viruses. The cytotoxic activity was lowest against ecotropic virus
## Abstract The distribution of serum antibodies to adult Tβcell leukemia virus (ATLV) was examined as a marker for virus infection among nonβhuman primates as well as people from Africa and Germany. The virus is present in Africa in certain primate species including man. Altogether, 468 sera from
