We have elaborated three systems of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for detection of chicken IgG antibodies specific for hexon antigens of three immunologically distinct adenovirus groups: those of mammalian adenoviruses (Mastadenovira), typical avian adenoviruses (Aviadenovira) and of egg-drop syndrome-76 (EDS-76) virus. In each system the antibodies against respective hexons were specifically detected. In mammalian adenovirus hexons the ELISA detects primarily the type-specific (epsilon) and genus-specific (alpha) antigenic determinants. The time course of anti-hexon antibodies content was followed during immunization. The level of anti-hexon antibodies in egg yolk reflects adequately their content in blood serum. The technique is suitable for serological diagnosis of chicken adenoviral infections as well as for characterization of egg-yolk antibodies obtained by preparative hyperimmunization of hens.

Adenovirus (AdV) infection elicits a strong immune response with the production of neutralizing antibodies and opsonization by complement and coagulation factors. One anti-hexon neutralizing antibody, called 9C12, is known to activate the complement cascade, resulting in the deposition of complement component C4b on the capsid, and the neutralization of the virus. The mechanism of AdV neutralization by C4b is independent of downstream complement proteins and involves the blockage of the release of protein VI, which is required for viral escape from the endosome.

Human adenoviruses comprise an important group of etiologic agents that are responsible for various diseases in adults and children, such as respiratory, ocular, gastroenteric, and urinary infections. In immunocompromised and organ-transplanted individuals, these agents can cause generalized infections. Rapid diagnostic methods for detecting these infectious agents are not widely available.

Development of rapid, sensitive and specific methods for detection of infectious enteric viruses in water is challenging but crucial for gaining reliable information for risk assessment. An immunocapture real-time PCR (IC-qPCR) was designed to detect jointly the two major viral particle components, i.e.

We incorporated a previously identified mutation that reduces the fidelity of the DNA polymerase into a human adenovirus vector. Using this mutator vector, we demonstrate rapid selection of resistance to a neutralizing anti-hexon monoclonal antibody due to a G434D mutation in hexon that precludes antibody binding. Since mutator adenoviruses can accumulate compound mutations that are unattainable using traditional random mutagenesis techniques, this approach will be valuable to the study of antivirals and host factor interactions.

Early in infection, adenovirus travels to the nucleus as a naked capsid using the microtubule motor cytoplasmic dynein. How the dynein complex is recruited to viral cargo remains unclear. We find that cytoplasmic dynein and its associated proteins dynactin and NudE/NudEL, but not LIS1 or ZW10, colocalized with incoming, postendosomal adenovirus particles.
