Affinity-purified Varicella-Zoster Virus Glycoprotein gp1/gp3 Stimulates the Production of Neutralizing Antibody

Abstract
Varicella-zoster virus glycoprotein gp1/gp3 was purified by affinity chromatography using anti-gp1/gp3 monoclonal antibody 19.1 linked to CNBr-activated Sepharose CL-4B. Rabbits immunized with purified glycoprotein gp1/gp3 developed monospecific neutralizing antibody.
