Abstract
Summary
Adenovirus type 5 viral antigens were separated on DEAE cellulose. These antigens were reacted with various homotypic and heterotypic adenovirus antisera in order to determine which of the viral antigens were reactive in the passive hemagglutination test. It was found that the fiber antigen was the principal antigen responsible for this activity. Some activity was also associated with the penton antigen. The hexon antigen could not be assayed by this method. Heterotypic responses were due primarily to the penton and fiber antigens.
