Overview

May guide adenovirus antigen selection for vaccines; leaves open in vivo neutralization mechanisms and human translation.

Structured PICO

P
Population
Adenovirus virions, hexons, and antibodies
I
Intervention
Radioimmunoprecipitation (RIP) system to measure antibody binding
O
Outcome
Capacity of whole virus to bind type-specific and cross-reactive antibodiessurrogate

The study demonstrates that the mechanism of adenovirus neutralization by antibody is complex, with type-specific determinants exposed on the virion playing a crucial role despite impartial binding of both type-specific and cross-reactive antibodies.
