RESUMO
A monoclonal antibody against the fusion (F) protein of mumps virus was found to confer marked protection in mumps virus-induced encephalitis. Almost total prevention of extensive brain necrosis was found. This study indicates that the virus F protein is directly involved in the pathogenesis of brain necrosis.
