Use of antiviral-antiferritin hybrid antibody for localization of viral antigen in plasma membrane

J Virol. 1971 Feb;7(2):274-7. doi: 10.1128/JVI.7.2.274-277.1971.

Abstract

Reduced Fab' fragments of viral antibody hybridized with reduced Fab' fragments of antiferritin immunoglobulin G bind to viral antigenic sites in the plasma membrane of L cells infected with vesicular stomatitis virus. The hybrid antibody reacts specifically with ferritin, which can be identified by electron microscopy, and with fluorescein-conjugated apoferritin, which can be identified by fluorescence microscopy.
