Antigens of Bacteriophage øX174
1965
Anti-oX serum contains precipitating antibodies specific for three antigenic sites in the
virus. One of these sites is not accessible in whole
virus, but is exposed in heated
virusand in the related 70 S particle. Inactivating antibody, which blocks viral adsorption, is produced by immunization with intact
virus, heated
virusand the 70 S component. Inactivation by antibody is a first
order process. The combination of antigen with antibody is partially reversible.
