Molecular Identification of Fowl Adenovirus Associated with Inclusion Body Hepatitis in Iran
Background and Aims: Inclusion body hepatitis (IBH) is one of the most important reemerging diseases in many countries with intensive poultry industries. In Iran, the etiological agent of IBH (fowl adenovirus) has not been yet confirmed. The aim of this study was the molecular detection and identification of fowl adenovirus involving IBH in chicken flocks in Iran. Materials and Methods: Polymer...
متن کاملSuppression of the translation defect phenotype specific for a virus-associated RNA-deficient adenovirus mutant in monkey cells by simian virus 40.
Human cells infected with adenovirus type 2 (Ad2) or Ad5 require VAI RNA for efficient translation of viral mRNAs at late times after infection. The Ad5 mutant dl-sub720 synthesized neither virus-associated I (VAI) nor VAII RNAs, and infection of human cells with this mutant resulted in reduced virion polypeptide synthesis. Infection of monkey cells with this mutant also resulted in drastic red...
متن کاملCharacterization of a temperature-sensitive, hexon transport mutant of type 5 adenovirus.
Infection of KB cells at 39.5 degrees C with H5ts147, a temperature-sensitive (ts) mutant of type 5 adenovirus, resulted in the cytoplasmic accumulation of hexon antigen; all other virion proteins measured, however, were normally transported into the nucleus. Immunofluorescence techniques were used to study the intracellular location of viral proteins. Genetic studies revealed that H5ts147 was ...
متن کاملStructural and phylogenetic analysis of adenovirus hexons by use of high-resolution x-ray crystallographic, molecular modeling, and sequence-based methods.
A major impediment to the use of adenovirus as a gene therapy vector and for vaccine applications is the host immune response to adenovirus hexon-the major protein component of the icosahedral capsid. A solution may lie in novel vectors with modified or chimeric hexons designed to evade the immune response. To facilitate this approach, we have distinguished the portion of hexon that all serotyp...
متن کاملNucleotide sequence at the junction between the coding region of the adenovirus 2 hexon messenger RNA and its leader sequence.
We have determined a 139-base-pair sequence of adenovirus 2 DNA that is located immediately leftwards of the cleavage site for endonuclease Sma I at position 51.1. The established sequence includes the hexon AUG initiator codon, located 75--77 nucleotides leftwards of this cleavage site, and codons for the first 26 amino acids of the hexon polypeptide. By the use of purified hexon mRNA as a tem...
