Structural Polypeptides of Type 12 Human Adenovirus

Summary Similarities in the trypsin sensitivity of certain polypeptides of adenovirus types 5 and 12 (Ad5 and Ad12) have been used to identify some capsid polypeptides of Ad12. One of the polypeptides suggested to be the IIIa of Ad12 has proved to be the major structural phosphoprotein as in the case of Ad5.
