Abstract
RECENTLY it has been shown1–3 that normal sera from some animals contain substances which inhibit specifically the avid4 A2 influenza virus strains. Attention has been paid to these substances, as they exhibit not only hæmagglutination-inhibiting activity, as the α-inhibitors, but also virus-neutralizing activity.
