Section V - Antigenic Relationship and Lack of Relationship to Other Viruses
Antigen composition of Absettarov virus is closely related, if not identical, to tick-borne encephalitis virus and louping ill virus in cross HI, NT and in cross-resistance tests in actively immunized mice. Dr. Clarke's results on the distinct differentiation between the viruses of tick-borne encephalitis group in agar-gel precipitation test [5] , [6] had not been confirmed in our laboratory by N. Gorev by comparison of tick-borne and biphasic meningoencephalitis viruses.
