title: A naturally occurring intestinal mouse adenovirus infection associated with negative serologic findings.
abstract: Large basophilic intranuclear inclusions were observed in the intestinal epithelium of clinically normal mice. Electron micrographs of the inclusions showed them to be caused by an adenovirus, even though serological testing for mouse adenoviruses in a complement fixation test using the FL strain of mouse adenovirus yielded no titers. A diagnosis of an adenovirus infection resembling that caused by the K87 strain was made.
