A monoclonal antibody to the adenovirus 2 hexon protein was produced and characterized as a group-specific antibody. Positive reactivity in immunoprecipitation, indirect immunofluorescence, and radioimmunoassays was observed with human, canine, swine, bovine, murine, and simian adenoviruses. This monoclonal antibody should provide a specific and sensitive diagnostic reagent for detection of all mammalian adenoviruses.
