Antiserum specific for influenza A2neuraminidase was produced by immunization of rabbits with the purified enzyme which had been isolated by electrophoresis from the proteins of a detergent-disrupted A0A2influenza virus recombinant [X-7 (F1)]. This recombinant contained hemagglutinin of the A0subtype and A2neuraminidase. Antiserum to the isolated A2neuraminidase did not react in any of four serological tests with A0or A2subtype viruses that lacked the A2enzyme. In contrast, the antiserum inhibited the neuraminidase activity only of wild-type and recombinant viruses containing the A2enzyme, regardless of the nature of their hemagglutinin proteins. The antiserum caused hemagglutination-inhibition of some, but not all, viruses bearing the A2enzyme, and it reduced the plaque size or plaque number of all viruses tested that contained A2neuraminidase. In the chick embryo and in cell culture, low dilutions of antiserum reduced the yield of virus. True neutralization of virus in the chick embryo did not occur. We conclude that an antiserum specific for A2neuraminidase influenced the yield and release of virus from influenza virus-infected cells.
