Hexone
Definition:
(n.) A liquid hydrocarbon, C6H8, of the valylene series, obtained from distillation products of certain fats and gums.
Example Sentences:
(1) Evidence is presented that the type-specific antibody to the adenovirus hexon is not simply the antibody with the highest activity for cross-reactive determinants, but is a distinct, minority population that recognizes seperate determinants.
(2) We have tested the two principal theories which explain the previous finding that small amounts of type-specific antibody to the adenovirus hexon can neutralize infectivity, whereas even large amounts of cross-reactive antibody do not.
(3) However, combining anti-dodecon and anti-hexon sera or producing antisera against the combined dodecon-hexon components resulted in neutralizing titers which were identical to titers obtained with antisera against the crude virus harvests.
(4) In contrast, only 3.4S polypeptide chains were found in extracts of cells infected with the class of mutants unable to produce immunologically reactive hexon protein at 39.5 degrees C. Hexons synthesized in H5ts147-infected cells at 39.5 degrees C were capable of being assembled into virions, to the same extent as hexons synthesized in WT-infected cells, when the temperature was shifted down to the permissive temperature, 32 degrees C. Infectious virus production was initiated within 2 to 6 h after shift-down to 32 degrees C; de novo protein synthesis was required to allow this increase in viral titer.
(5) Hexon is the major structural protein of adenovirus, and has significance in studies of virus structure and function, vaccine development, and immunodiagnosis.

(10) By correlation of this data with the genetic and physical maps of the adenovirus genome, obtained by recombination and restriction endonuclease analysis, the genes coding for the hexon and fiber have been assigned to specific locations on the adenovirus DNA.
(11) We conclude that the hexon protrusions are domains of VP5 hexamers, other parts of these molecules forming the basic matrix of the capsid shell to which the other proteins are attached at specific sites.
(12) To identify the latter, peptides were synthesized corresponding to residues 281 to 292 from loop 1 and 441 to 455 from loop 2 of the Ad2 hexon.
(13) In the early phase of the crystallization, groups of a few hexons began to appear, then the two-dimensional crystal lattices grew gradually to a size of 1-2 micron.
