Specificity of a Neuraminidase Activity of Sendai Virus

Hideki Tozawa, M. Homma, N. Ishida

Abstract

The pH optima for the neuraminidase activity of several myxoviruses were determined. The same pH optimum was found for Sendai virus grown in either egg or L cell and for NDV which is closely related to the former virus. However, the antibody prepared against the neuraminidase fraction of egg-grown Sendai virus showed an inhibitory effect only on the neuraminidase activity of egg-grown and L cell-grown Sendai virus but not on that of NDV.
