Summary
Primary human embryo kidney cells and Chang conjunctival cells were inoculated with fastidious enteric adenovirus type 40. Mature virions were seen in the nuclei of infected Chang cells, but not in human embryo kidney cells, indicating that at least a proportion of Chang cells can support the entire replicative cycle.
