Adenovirus infection is a contagious viral disease, caused by adenoviruses, commonly resulting in a respiratory tract infection. [1] [9] Typical symptoms range from those of a common cold, such as nasal congestion, rhinitis, and cough, to difficulty breathing as in pneumonia. [9]
Adenovirus D26 structural model at atomic resolution [1]. Adenoviruses (members of the family Adenoviridae) are medium-sized (90–100 nm), nonenveloped (without an outer lipid bilayer) viruses with an icosahedral nucleocapsid containing a double-stranded DNA genome. [2]
Adeno-associated virus spreads by co-infecting a cell with a helper virus. The first helper virus that was described as providing successful generation of new AAV particles, was the adenovirus, from which the AAV name originated.
Adenovirus genomes are linear, non-segmented double-stranded (ds) DNA molecules that are typically 26-46 Kbp long, containing 23-46 protein-coding genes. [1] The example used for the following description is Human adenovirus E, a mastadenovirus with a 36 Kbp genome containing 38 protein-coding genes. [2]
Adenoviral keratoconjunctivitis, also known as epidemic keratoconjunctivitis, is a contagious eye infection, a type of adenovirus disease caused by adenoviruses. [1] It typically presents as a conjunctivitis with a sudden onset of a painful red eye, watery discharge and feeling that something is in the eye. [3]
It was used by the United States military from 1971 to 1999, but was discontinued when the only manufacturer stopped production. [8] [9] This vaccine elicited immunity to adenovirus serotypes 4 and 7, [10] the serotypes most often associated with acute respiratory disease.
Coxsackievirus and adenovirus receptor (CAR) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CXADR gene. [5] [6] [7] The protein encoded by this gene is a type I membrane receptor for group B coxsackie viruses and subgroup C adenoviruses.
Adenovirus early region 1A (E1A) is a gene expressed during adenovirus replication to produce a variety of E1A proteins. [1] It is expressed during the early phase of the viral life span.
