Abstract excerpt
Although it grows well in bulk infection, human adenovirus type 12 (Ad12) does not plaque efficiently in Vero cells of simian origin. After long-term passage of the virus or after transfection of Ad12 DNA into these cells, however, transformation-defective, host-range mutants giving high plaque yields in Vero cells were isolated. The original mutants have deletions in both E1a and E1b as well as additions of...
