Abstract

Adenovirus strains of a new type were isolated from patients with epidemic keratoconjunctivitis. They were not completely neutralized by any antiserum against adenovirus prototypes. PCR followed by restriction endonuclease analysis demonstrated that they were type 8. PCR followed by sequencing revealed a high homology rate between them and type 9.

Agarose gel electrophoresis shows the cleavage patterns of the 956-bp amplified products digested by EcoT14I (a), HaeIII (b), and HinfI (c). Numbers above the lanes correspond to serotypes of Ad and lane M contains molecular weight standards (φX174 HincII digest). Among subgenus D, we could distinguish seven serotypes of the Ad prototype employed in this study, Ad8, -9, -10, -17, -19, -22, and -37, with two enzymes, EcoT14I and HaeIII.
