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.

(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.
(14) Several primers, including primers specific for the hexon-coding region and for enteric adenovirus types 40 and 41, were evaluated.
(15) In contrast to this, the native capsomer (hexon) of Ad h 1 kappa exhibited lower electrophoretic mobility in agarose gel electrophoresis than the native hexon of Ad h 1B.
(16) The trypsinolysis of native SA7 hexon leads to a stable molecular "core" containing 4-5 fragment species of 10 to 65 kDa and resembling the intact capsomer in quarternary structure (trimer).
(17) The isolated antibodies showed a specific neutralizing capacity five times higher than that of the corresponding unfractionated polyclonal anti-hexon serum; however, the neutralizing ability was independent of pH.
(18) According to this criterion for chemical relatedness, about two-thirds of the type 2 and 5 hexon peptides may be considered similar.
(19) Peptides with identical isoelectric points, but from different hexon types, were considered to have structural similarities.
(20) Comparative studies showed no physico-chemical, immunological or electron microscopic differences between soluble hexons of extracellular and intracellular origin.
Series
Definition:

(3) An unsaturated fatty acid auxotroph of Escherichia coli was grown with a series of cis-octadecenoate isomers in which the location of the double bond varied from positions 3 to 17.
(4) We report a series of experiments designed to determine if agents and conditions that have been reported to alter sodium reabsorption, Na-K-ATPase activity or cellular structure in the rat distal nephron might also regulate the density or affinity of binding of 3H-metolazone to the putative thiazide receptor in the distal nephron.
(5) A series of eight patients with multiple meningiomas is presented.
(6) Other articles in the series will look at particular legal problems in the dental specialties.

(8) Mitonafide is the lead compound of a new series of antitumor drugs, the 3-Nitronaphthalimides, which have shown antineoplastic activity in vitro as well as in vivo.
(9) Time-series analysis and multiple-regression modeling procedures were used to characterize changes in the overall incidence rate over the study period and to describe the contribution of additional measures to the dynamics of the incidence rates.
(10) Comparison of developmental series of D. merriami and T. bottae revealed that the decline of the artery in the latter species is preceded by a greater degree of arterial coarctation, or narrowing, as it passes though the developing stapes.

(12) In a series of compounds with H2-antihistaminic activity, a conformational analysis was performed based on force field calculations.
(13) Probability distributions are fitted to these data and it is shown that the log-series distribution best fits the data for two subgroups.
(14) We present a mathematical model that is suitable to reconcile this apparent contradiction in the interpretation of the epidemiological data: the observed parallel time series for the spread of AIDS in groups with different risk of infection can be realized by computer simulation, if one assumes that the outbreak of full-blown AIDS only occurs if HIV and a certain infectious coagent (cofactor) CO are present.

(1989) Biochemistry 28, 2728-2732].
