Infected host cells which present viral antigens on the cell surface membrane can activate the classical pathway, as the antigens bind IgM/IgG to induce complement dependent cytotoxicity (CDC). Non-neutralizing antibodies can still bind the viral target with the potential to cross-link with Fc receptors, or activate complement and interact with complement receptors, to enhance viral infection of host cells (241) . Use of the non-neutralizing influenza virus M2 extracellular vaccine in mice required functional C3 to confer protection and induce effective humoral and cell-mediated immune responses (245) . ./cache/cord-304626-ffao7vka.txt ./txt/cord-304626-ffao7vka.txt
