title: Quantitation of adenovirus soluble antigens by crossed immunoelectrophoresis: application to serological characterization of mutants.
abstract: The two-dimensional immunoelectrophoresis technique was applied to adenovirus type 2 soluble antigens. Electrophoresis of adenovirus-infected HeLa cell extracts in adenovirus antibody-containing agarose gel permitted us to assay for hexon, assembled penton, free penton base and free fiber simultaneously in one single experiment. This technique was routinely used to characterize the adenovirus type 2 temperature-sensitive mutants.
