Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Neutralization occurs when antibodies bind to and block the receptors on a virus, preventing it from infecting a host cell. This can be accomplished by changing the shape of the virus or by preventing it from binding to its target receptor. This process does not involve clumping of bacteria, activation of memory cells, or activation of cytotoxic T cells.
