Comments
Recognized Reference Strain: Pereira HG, et al.A short description of adenovirus group. Virology 20: 613, 1963.
Agglutinates both rat and rhesus RBC but usually the former to a higher titer than the latter. Contains soluble group-specific complement fixing antigen.
Effect on Host
CPE, rounding and sloughing
Recommended Host
KB cells (ATCC

CCL-17

)
Growth Conditions
Temperature: 37°C
Recommendations for Infection: Plant cells 24-48 hours in advance and infect when cultures are 60-90% confluent. Remove medium and inoculate with a small volume (e.g. 1mL per 25 cm squared) of virus diluted with VGM to provide a MOI of about 0.1-1.0. Adsorb 1-2 hours at 37°C in a 5% CO2 atmosphere. End adsorbtion by adding VGM.
Incubation: Incubate infected culture for 1-6 days at 37°C in a 5% CO2 humidified atmosphere until CPE is well advanced through 90% of culture.
Effect on Host
CPE, rounding and sloughing
