The results of investigations concerning the interaction between ceruloplasmin (a serum nonspecific inhibitor) and some myxo- and paramyxoviruses, as well as certain viruses with oncogenic potential (herpes virus, SV--40) are reviewed. The data presented point out the inhibiting action of ceruloplasmin on virus multiplication and the ceruloplasmin-induced modification in the antigenicity of Sendai virus and subviral fractions. The stages and mechanisms of ceruloplasmin action are discussed.
