Adenovirus-induced lipid changes in human erythrocytes.
Lipid changes in human erythrocytes treated with adenovirus types 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13 and 27 were studied by thin-layer chromatography. Twenty-two of the human lipids revealed qualitative changes induced by one or several virus types; 12 of these alterations were found to be type-specific and they occurred only in response to subgroup II viruses. Six lipids reacted with 2 adenovirus types, one lipid reacted with 3 and one lipid with 4 types. Two lipids (belonging to the lecithin and lysocephalin groups) were responsive to all 8 types; they might represent those points in the lipoprotein layer of the cell membrane which are common receptors of adenoviruses and adeno- and influenza viruses, respectively.
