Serum adenovirus antibody

Adenovirus is an icosahedral stereosymmetric double-stranded DNA virus. The viral capsid is composed of 252 shell particles, of which 240 are hexons and 12 pentons. Hexagons are distributed on the 20 triangular faces and edges, and pentons are located on the top corners of the icosahedron. Each penton consists of a base and a fiber with a nodule at the top of the fiber. The length of the fibers varies, and the mid-section protein determines the characteristics of hemagglutination. When entering the body, hemagglutination inhibitory antibodies can be produced. Adenovirus can cause a variety of diseases. The most common are infants and young children with acute respiratory infections, adenoviral pneumonia, epidemic keratoconjunctivitis, and pharyngitis. Other diseases such as infants and young children diarrhea, hemorrhagic cystitis, myocarditis, and meninges Yan and so on. Serological tests are important for determining adenovirus infection.
