Higher affinities of fibers with cell receptors increase the infection capacity and virulence of human adenovirus type 7 and type 55 compared to type 3

Higher affinities of fibers with cell receptors increase the infection capacity and virulence of human adenovirus type 7 and type 55 compared to type 3

ABSTRACT Human adenovirus (HAdV) type 7 and type 55 infections cause more severe pneumonia than type 3 infections. However, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This study provided evidence linking the receptor-binding protein, fiber, to the stronger virulence of HAdV-55 and HAdV-7. Wild-type H...
