| Persistent shedding of adenovirus in urine of chimpanzees. | |||||||||||
Abstract | |||||||||||
| A new adenovirus, designated Pan 11, was isolated repeatedly from the urine of several chimpanzees for more than 1 year. One chimpanzee had chronic interstitial nephritis; the others were healthy. Most chimpanzees tested had neutralizing antibodies to Pan 11 virus in the serum; three people who worked with chimpanzees also acquired antibodies. Transplantable rhabdomyosarcomas developed in hamsters inoculated as newborns with Pan 11 virus. | |||||||||||
