Inactivation of p53 is needed during adenovirus type 5 DNA replication. E1B55K, an adenovirus early protein, has been reported to interact with p53 and inhibit p53 transactivation. Previous studies have shown that adeno-associated virus (AAV) type 2 could reduce the transforming potential of adenovirus by rescuing p53 from adenovirus-mediated degradation, but the details are not clear yet. We d...

Subgenus C human adenoviruses, which include serotypes 1, 2, 5, and 6, are often associated with respiratory illness, ocular infections, gastroenteritis, and systemic infection among immunocompromised patients. To address the problems associated with the conventional typing methods, we developed a fiber-based multiplex PCR assay for simple and specific identification of adenovirus type 1, 2, 5,...

by irnmunocdiffusion tests 312 serum samples from human were examined for the presence of antibodies to the group.reactive precipitatng antigen of adenoviruses. of the total sera from female, 19.6% and from male, 15.8% had antibody to the group reactive antigen prepared from bovine adenovirus type 3. no significant difference was demo., nstrated on account of sex or age. the results suggest tha...

The left-end adenovirus type 3 DNA sequence is very similar to those of other subgroup B adenoviruses, especially in the area between the HinfI site (320 base pairs) and the early-region Ia gene. This segment of the genome has been implicated as necessary for the left-end polarity of adenovirus DNA encapsidation. This segment and the sequences flanking it are compared with the corresponding seq...

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...

BACKGROUND Recruit training sites are places with a high incidence of respiratory infectious diseases. Effective surveillance for acute respiratory infectious diseases in a recruit training site is an important way to prevent disease outbreaks. METHODS Eight hundred recruits (722 males and 78 females) enlisted in autumn 2015 received a background survey within 24 h of settlement at the recrui...

Since the International Health Regulations National Focal Point for United Kingdom alerted WHO of ten cases acute severe hepatitis unknown etiology in children on April 5, 2022, relevant have been reported worldwide. These patients had (negative viruses A–E) and elevated aminotransferase (AST) or alanine aminase (ALT) exceeding 500 U/L. Furthermore, respiratory syndrome coronavirus type 2 (SARS...

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...
