Abstract
Human tonsillar and adenoid tissues from surgical specimens and cell cultures established therefrom were screened for adenovirus type 2 (Ad2) sequences by in situ hybridization. For labeling we have utilized biotinylated DNA probes. We report detection of adenoviral sequences after hybridization with adenovirus type 2 DNA probes in tissues as well as in cell cultures from specimens without any signs of infectious virus even after long-term cultivation. In the infected tonsils only some of the cells appear to carry viral sequences. In conclusion, truly latent adenovirus infections in man seem to occur.Entities:
