title: [Morphology of bovine adenovirus type I].
abstract: Electron-microscopic studies were carried out on a concentrated and purified adenovirus type I. It was found that its morphologic aspects were characteristic of the adenovirus group. In the preparations of this virus there were large amounts of incomplete virions and soluble components--hexons, groups of hexons and pentons. Some of the virions were grouped in p-crystal structures or were released as grouped in cell vacuoles. The hexons presented a six-angle contour and a central cavity. The pentons possessed fibre components that were comparatively long. The presence of free pentons spoke of the existence of incomplete hemagglutinins.
