Sequence homology between bovine and human adenoviruses.

RESUMO

Cross-hybridization has been detected between corresponding regions of the genomes of bovine adenovirus type 3 and human adenovirus type 2. The most conserved region on the viral genomes encodes the hexon polypeptide. The nucleotide sequence of this region in bovine adenovirus type 3 has been determined. Comparison of the predicted amino acid sequences of the bovine adenovirus type 3 and human adenovirus type 2 hexon polypeptides reveals three regions of nonhomology.
