Inhibits host macromolecular synth and mRNA transport to cytoplasm
Adenovirus
Target cells of adenoviruses
Epithelial cell linings of the lung and Other enteric organs
Adenovirus entry
Receptor mediated endocytosis
- *penton protein base with alpha v protein
- *serotype specific clinical manifestation depend on difff on fibers and penton proteins
Causes hemmorhagic cystitis
Group B serotype

What sample is collected for virus isolation? And when is it collected?
Urine, feces, leukocytes, throat swab, eye swab CSF
During onset of clinical symptoms
Gold standard Diagnosis which forms monolayers in test tube and inoculation of samples
Cell culture
**positive: CPE
T or F: adenovirus elicits both humoral and CMI
Tru
