title: Genome type analysis of adenovirus type 4 isolates, recently obtained from clinically different syndromes in some areas in Japan.
abstract: DNA cleavage analyses with EcoRI, HindIII and BamHI were carried out to investigate genome types of recent Ad 4 isolates obtained from acute respiratory disease (8 strains), and ocular disease (11 strains) in Japan. DNA cleavage patterns of all 19 isolates studied were identical regardless of whether they were recovered from respiratory tract or conjunctiva, but were distinct from that of the prototype strain.
