Abstract excerpt
We have analyzed the mechanisms used by adenovirus to gain entry into the host cell. Using both virus infection and the ability of adenovirus particles to enhance polylysine/DNA uptake as a measure of virus entry, we have demonstrated that the adenovirus-encoded 23K protease is required for two f...
