The University of Chicago COMMITTEE ON IMMUNOLOGY WEBSITE: immunology.uchicago.edu Student Handbook 2020 – 2021 Sensitivity to viral infections is often linked to the host's inability to produce neutralizing antibodies in a timely and persistent manner. Non-classical Major Histocompatibility Complex class II (MHC-II)-like molecule, H2-O, is a negative regulator of the immune response and animals with non-functional alleles of the H2-Ob gene are capable of producing retrovirus-neutralizing antibodies. Neutralizing antibodies (magenta) are used as high- precision weapons to stop the march of the enemy troops (the viruses) by binding to their surface glycoproteins (in yellow), thus blocking their replication cycle.
