why can't you use antibodies on a virus
When a vertebrate is infected with a virus, antibodies are produced against many epitopes on multiple virus proteins. A subset of these antibodies can block virus infection by a process that is called neutralization.Antibodies can neutralize viral infectivity in a number of ways, as summarized in the illustration.c portion â can bind to receptors on cells not normally infected by. the virus. The virus-antibody complex is taken up into cells, and. infection proceeds. I didn't answer the last part of your question â do viruses 'use' this. method of entering cells.
