Cytopathic Effects of Viruses: A General Survey

“…The family Adenoviridae comprises a large, homogeneous group of structurally closely-related viruses, the genetic information of which consists of double-stranded DNA varying in molecular weight from 20 x 10 6 to 25 X 10 6 • This family of viruses has been extensively reviewed in this series from the standpoint of their reproduction (Philipson and Lindberg, 1974) and genetics (Ginsberg and Young, 1977). By definition, the adenoviruses are nonenveloped, and have icosahedral capsids containing 252 capsomeres arranged as hexons and pentons with fibers.…”

Host cell reactivation of gamma-irradiated adenovirus 5 in human cell lines of varying radiosensitivity

“…Adenovirus 5 is a linear, double stranded DNA virus which subverts the host cell's replicative system to reproduce itself (Green et al, 1971), and which replicates in both proliferating and non-proliferating cells (Philipson & Linberg, 1974). This and other viruses have been used extensively as probes for DNA repair (Defais et al, 1983) following treatment either with chemical agents (Day et al, 1980), U.V.…”
