[Interaction between the human and simian adenoviruses in human cells: complementation, transcapsidation and formation of defective adeno-adeno hybrids].
It was for the first time that complementation between the human and simian adenoviruses in human cells as well as the ability of the human adenovirus Ad2 (HADv2) genome to transform completely into the simian adenovirus SA7(C8) (SADv15) capsid (transcapsidation) was demonstrated. A defective adeno-adeno hybrid (recombinant) between the above viruses is described; the recombinant has the SA7(C8) capsid and Ad2 genome with a 10% insertion of SA7(C8) in the central region. Defective hybrid virions are able to replicate both in human and simian cells by using the SA7(C8) virus as helper. The hybrid virions help the above virus to replicate in human cells: they form a mutually complementing virion pair.
