title: Sequence analysis of the canine adenovirus 2 fiber-encoding gene.
abstract: The gene coding for the fiber protein (Fip) of canine adenovirus type 2 (CAV-2) has been cloned and sequenced. The putative protein has 80% sequence similarity with the CAV-1 Fip. The observed differences may contribute to the known differences in cell tropism and virulence of the two types of CAV.
