چکیده
A combined electron microscopic and optical diffractometric study of Ad5-induced non-virion protein crystals found in the nuclei of infected KB cells at late times (48 to 72 h p.i.) after infection has been carried out. Data obtained have indicated that the unit cell of the crystal is rectangular and not hexagonal as previously presumed.

Sequential Cellular Changes Produced by Types 5 and 7 Adenoviruses in Hela Cells and in Human Amniotic Cells
The sequential cytological changes which develop in tissue culture cells infected with adenovirus types 5 and 7 are described and compared with those produced by adenovirus types 1, 2, 3, and 4. The evidence that is presented indicates that types 1, 2, and 5 belong to one major subdivision of the adenovirus group and types 3, 4, and 7 to another. That the host cell nucleus is the principal site...
متن کاملProtein Crystals in Adenovirus Type 5-Infected Cells: Requirements for Intranuclear Crystallogenesis, Structural and Functional Analysis
Intranuclear crystalline inclusions have been observed in the nucleus of epithelial cells infected with Adenovirus serotype 5 (Ad5) at late steps of the virus life cycle. Using immuno-electron microscopy and confocal microscopy of cells infected with various Ad5 recombinants modified in their penton base or fiber domains, we found that these inclusions represented crystals of penton capsomers, ...
متن کاملCharacterization of avian adenovirus type-4 causing hydro-pericardium syndrome in broilers in Karachi, Pakistan
Avian adenovirus was isolated from naturally infected birds during 1990 to 2003 in the vicinity ofKarachi, Pakistan. The virus is known to cause hydro-pericardium syndrome (HPS) in poultry. The mortalitywas recorded 20-50% in commercial broilers. Fifty field samples were collected; however, six samples wereselected for molecular studies. These isolates were grown and characterized by cell cultu...
متن کاملMolecular 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 کاملCoupling between membrane tilt-difference and dilation: a new “ripple” instability and multiple crystalline inclusions phases
– A continuum Landau theory for the micro-elasticity of membranes is discussed, which incorporates a coupling between the bilayer thickness variation and the difference in the two monolayers’ tilts. This coupling stabilizes a new phase with a rippled micro-structure. Interactions among membrane inclusions combine a dilation-induced attraction and a tiltdifference–induced repulsion that yield 2D...
