pubmed-article:2462763 | pubmed:abstractText | An antibody prepared against a synthetic peptide derived from the sequence of the adenovirus protease cross-reacted with the viral fiber protein of adenovirus types 2, 3, 4, and 9. Four residues in a conserved hexamer sequence near the N-terminus of the Ad2 and Ad3 fibers were homologous to the peptide. The epitope was masked by attachment of the penton base and thus lies within an anchoring domain 30 residues from the N-terminus of the fiber polypeptide. | lld:pubmed |
