Abstract excerpt
A number of novel recombinant human adenoviruses (HAdVs) have recently been identified through sequencing of the complete genomes. The recombinant HAdV sequences share similarity with other types in the major capsid genes, namely the hexon, penton base, and fiber genes, implying recombination events, which may result in escape from the immune response and the acquisition of different organotropisms. Therefore, a...
