neutralisation
Neutralisation, in the broadest sense, refers to the process of counteracting or nullifying the effect or force of something. This term is often used in various fields such as chemistry, where it refers to a chemical reaction in which an acid and a base react quantitatively with each other resulting in water and a salt; in conflict resolution, where it refers to the process of resolving a disagreement or quarrel; and in immunology, where it refers to the blocking of the effects of viruses or toxins using antibodies.

Neutralisation
Neutralisation in the immunological sense refers to the ability of antibodies to block the site on bacteria or viruses that they use to enter their target cell. One example of this within biology is a neutralizing antibody. Here the small soluble complexes neutralize the microbial toxins. These are antigen-antibody reactions that determine whether the activity of toxin or virus has been neutralized by an antibody.
