Construction and Characterization of Hexon-Chimeric Adenoviruses: Specification of Adenovirus Serotype
1 Dec 1998
Abstract excerpt
This study has used the strategy of gene replacement to characterize the contribution of the adenovirus (Ad) capsid protein hexon to serotype definition. By replacing the Ad type 5 (Ad5) hexon gene with sequences from Ad2, we have changed the type specificity of the chimeric virus. The type-determining epitopes are primarily associated with loop 1 of hexon and, to a much lesser degree, with loop 2. In spite of...
