Serologically intermediate adenovirus strains: A Regular feature of group II adenoviruses

Archiv für die gesamte Virusforschung Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

18 of 39 adenovirus strains of group II were found to be serologically intermediate: they were related to one serotype in hemagglutinationinhibition and to another in neutralization. They have been designated with two type numbers, the first indicating the type related in HA-inhibition, the second that related in neutralization. The strains were classified into ten different serological categories. Three or possibly two more of the “type halves” were hitherto unknown new antigens. A further strain was found to have antigenic constituents of both types 26 and 27, demonstrable in both serological tests.

Six of the prototypes of group II were also classified by two type numbers, indicating the close relationship between the respective types: 8 and 9, 10 and 19, 15 and 22 in hemagglutination-inhibition, 15 and 25, 15 and 29, 13 and 30 in neutralization.
