RESUMO
Human adenovirus type 12 was propagated on human embryonic kidney cells, and the specific infectivities of intra- and extracellular virus particles were compared between 48 and 104 h after infection. Released virions exhibited a specific infectivity of up to 10 times higher than that of intracellular particles. The increased infectivity was apparently not due to enhanced rates of adsorption or penetration of extracellular virus. There may be a delay in the onset of viral DNA replication in intracellular virus-infected cells. Differences in the composition of intra- and extracellular virions were not recognized. Differences might also be sought in late expression or assembly of progeny virions or both. The data indicated that the virions released from the infected cells differed from those retained in the nucleus with respect to their specific infectivities. Active mechanisms of virus release have not yet been investigated.
