## Abstract Human cytomegalovirus (CMV) strain Ad 169 was reacted with IgG antibody obtained from infected renal transplant patients, and the degree of neutralization was determined. The mixture of antibody and virus was then incubated with antihuman IgG (AβIgG) or complement (C) to measure additio

Abstract
Nine of ten rabbits immunized with a partially purified Lβcell CSF had demonstrable titers of antiβCSF activity. In vitro the antibody was markedly inhibitory to both postβendotoxin mouse sera and several mouse tissue extracts. CSF containing conditioned media prepared from a number of sources showed variable inhibition suggesting that murine CSF's may be characterized by marked antigenic differences. Human sources of CSF were also inhibited thus indicating a degree of crossβreactivity between murine and human factors. These studies may provide the initial steps toward definition of the role of CSF in vivo.
