Comparative biological characterization of mouse adenovirus strains FL and K 87 and seroprevalence in laboratory rodents 1986 .txt text/plain 4411 246 57 The source of these discrepancies is not immediately apparent; however, our results may explain why seroconversion to mouse adenovirus is not observed among mice thought to be infected with the virus. Finally, we provide serologic evidence that an outbreak of disease in a mouse breeding colony which sustained high infant mortality was associated with the introduction of a mouse adenovirus strain closely related to MAd-K 87. Sera from mice housed in two intramural, barrier-maintained facilities were Mso free of antibody to MAd. Only three mouse sera ofl61 which were tested reacted by IFA with MAd bivalent antigen. (19) for growth of MAd-FL in primary mouse kidney cultures, we have found that the majority of infectious progeny virions (between 90 and 99 percent) are released fl~om infected L 929 or CMT-93 cells. We have provided serologic evidence linking an outbreak of clinical disease in a breeding colony of mice to infection with MAd-K 87 or a very closely related virus. ./cache/cord-004790-69lry0ys.txt ./txt/cord-004790-69lry0ys.txt
