  • Title: Peroxidase-mediated virucidal systems.
    Author: Belding ME, Klebanoff SJ, Ray CG.
    Journal: Science; 1970 Jan 09; 167(3915):195-6. PubMed ID: 4311694.
    Abstract:
    Peroxidase (myeloperoxidase or lactoperoxidase), hydrogen peroxide, and a halide such as iodide, bromide, or chloride form a potent virucidal system that is effective against polio and vaccinia viruis, particularly at a low pH. The peroxidase-halide-hydrogen peroxide system may contribute to the host defense against certain viral infections.
