[Comparative study of the hemolytic activity of ortho- and paramyxoviruses]

A comparative study of hemolytic activity of influenza type A, B, and C viruses, human parainfluenza type 3, and Sendai virus showed the pattern of pH-dependence and the nature of the curve to differ not only for different viruses under study but also for different erythrocyte species. Studies of virus-induced hemolysis of influenza C virus demonstrated that, depending on the erythrocyte species used, it had common properties both with influenza types A and B viruses and with paramyxoviruses.
