Comparative studies on the soluble proteins of adenovirus type 1.
The soluble proteins of adenovirus type 1 have been separated and purified. Their antigenic characteristics were compared in different precipitation experiments performed in electric field. Both two-dimension immune electrophoresis and rocket electrophoresis can successfully be applied for quick diagnostic purposes. Quantitative determination of virus proteins is also feasible by rocket electrophoresis. The isoelectric point values of hexon, penton and fibre were pI 4.55, pI 4.69 and pI 7.07, respectively. The amino acid composition of type 1 adenovirus and its capsid components was determined from separated and purified protein preparations. The former differed in amino acid composition from the tissues used for virus propagation.
