One hundred twenty strains of adenovirus types 1, 2, 5, and 6 (subgenus C), isolated at various times and places, were tested by neutralization and hemagglutination inhibition with two antisera of each type. Except for one type 5 strain they reacted largely type-specifically in both tests and neither qualitative nor quantitative differences were observed. Serologically intermediate strains were not found. The antigenic homogeneity is in contrast to the heterogeneity of the genomes of subgenus C adenoviruses.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
