Abstract
Endonuclease activity has been detected in association with highly purified virions, pentons, and/or dodecons of adenovirus types 2, 3, 5, 9, 12, 15, and 16. Only single-strand scissions in substrate DNA were detected. The nuclease activity was detected by a highly sensitive ethidium bromide fluorimetric assay procedure.
