Molecular characterization of an adenovirus 3-16 intertypic recombinant isolated in Argentina from an infant hospitalized with acute respiratory infection

Abstract

An intertypic recombinant adenovirus with a serotype 3-like hexon gene and a serotype 16-like fiber (99% identical to that of the prototype strain of human adenovirus 16 [HAdV-16], Ch79) was isolated in Argentina from an infant admitted to the hospital with acute respiratory disease. Consistent with the results of molecular characterization, strain Arg827/04 was designated H3-F16.

Restriction enzyme analysis of genomic Arg827/04 DNA in comparison with HAdV-3p strain GB and HAdV-16p strain Ch79. BamHI profiles for HAdV-16p and the 3-16 intertypic recombinant Arg827/04 exhibited identical band patterns, which are illustrated in a single lane. HindIII profiles for HAdV-3p and the 3-16 intertypic recombinant Arg827/04 exhibited identical band patterns that were also illustrated in a single lane. M, 1-kbp plus 100-bp molecular markers.
