Isotype: IgG1

Description: Adenovirus is a DNA virus with at least 51 distinct serotypes divided into 6 subgenera, which cause human infections. It is difficult to eliminate from skin and is stable in the environment. The presence of adenovirus is diagnosed by culture from nasopharyngeal aspirate, eye swab or faeces. The virus is spread by contact with respiratory tract secretions either by person to person contact or via droplets. Objects such as towels, pillowcases, toys and other shared items may transmit the virus. The conjunctiva can also act as a portal of entry. The virus is most communicable during the first few days of disease but viral shedding can occur for several months. Incubation period for respiratory tract infections is 2-14 days. Incubation period for gastrointestinal disease is 3-10 days.

Specificity: Specific for the hexon group antigen of many Adenovirus serotypes. Known reactivity with 34 serotypes of Adenovirus including types 40 and 41 (40, 41, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16, 18, 19, 20, 26, 31, 34, 35, 36 and 37) 0.1mg/ml IgG in 0.01M PBS, pH 7.2 with 0.1% Sodium azide and 10mg/ml BSA.
