DNA restriction endonuclease cleavage analysis and serum neutralization test were performed in strains of adenovirus types 19 (Ad-19) and 37 (Ad-37) isolated from patients with acute conjunctivitis in Sapporo (Japan), Kaohsiung (Taiwan) and Pusan (South Korea) during the period of 1977 to 1984. Ad-19 and Ad-37 could be roughly differentiated, but a fair degree of cross reactivity was noted by serological test. By DNA restriction endonuclease analysis, Ad-19 isolates, Ad-19 prototype strain and Ad-37 strains were clearly differentiated. It was suggested by DNA cleavage patterns that both Ad-19 and Ad-37 isolates in East Asia are the same as those currently found in Europe and the USA. A new subtype of Ad-37 was found by DNA cleavage analysis among the isolates obtained in Sapporo and Kaohsiung in 1980.

D004262 DNA Restriction Enzymes Enzymes that are part of the restriction-modification systems. They catalyze the endonucleolytic cleavage of DNA sequences which lack the species-specific methylation pattern in the host cell's DNA. Cleavage yields random or specific double-stranded fragments with terminal 5'-phosphates. The function of restriction enzymes is to destroy any foreign DNA that invades the host cell. Most have been studied in bacterial systems, but a few have been found in eukaryotic organisms. They are also used as tools for the systematic dissection and mapping of chromosomes, in the determination of base sequences of DNAs, and have made it possible to splice and recombine genes from one organism into the genome of another.

D000260 Adenoviruses, Human Species of the genus MASTADENOVIRUS, causing a wide range of diseases in humans. Infections are mostly asymptomatic, but can be associated with diseases of the respiratory, ocular, and gastrointestinal systems. Serotypes (named with Arabic numbers) have been grouped into species designated Human adenovirus A-G. APC Viruses,APC Virus,Adenovirus, Human,Human Adenovirus,Human Adenoviruses

D001208 Asia The largest of the continents. It was known to the Romans more specifically as what we know today as Asia Minor. The name comes from at least two possible sources: from the Assyrian asu (to rise) or from the Sanskrit usa (dawn), both with reference to its being the land of the rising sun, i.e., eastern as opposed to Europe, to the west. (From Webster's New Geographical Dictionary, 1988, p82 & Room, Brewer's Dictionary of Names, 1992, p34)
