A single gene encoding the fiber is responsible for variations in virulence in the fowl adenoviruses
1 Aug 1996
Abstract excerpt
Intertypic recombinant fowl adenoviruses (FAVs) were generated to determine regions of the viral genome involved in virulence. Recombinants were produced with two serotype 8 FAVs, mildly virulent CFA 3 and hypervirulent CFA 40. Restriction endonuclease fragments from the genomes of the two FAVs were used to transfect primary chicken kidney cells. Virulence testing of these recombinants located the region...
