[genome types of adenovirus type 37 with different pathogenicity isolated in nagoya city].	out of 217 strains of viruses isolated from patients with conjunctivitis at one ophthalmology clinic in nagoya city from 1982 to 1995, 37 were adenovirus type 37 (ad37). they were isolated mainly from patients with epidemic keratoconjunctivitis in summer-time. dnas from all ad37 isolates were extracted and analyzed by five restriction endonucleases (bam h i, eco r i, hind iii, sal i and sma i) in comparison with prototype strain. thirty-seven isolates were divided into six genome types (ad37a, a ...	1997	9311188
adenovirus type 37 binds to cell surface sialic acid through a charge-dependent interaction.	most adenoviruses use the coxsackie-adenovirus receptor (car) as a major cellular receptor. we have shown recently that adenovirus types 8, 19a, and 37, which are the major causes of epidemic keratoconjunctivitis, use sialic acid rather than car as a major cellular receptor. the predicted isoelectric point of the receptor-interacting knob domain in the adenovirus fiber protein is unusually high (9.0-9.1) in type 8, 19a, and 37. the pka of sialic acid is low, 2.6, implying a possible involvement ...	2002	12429514
adenovirus type 5 pseudotyped with adenovirus type 37 fiber uses sialic acid as a cellular receptor.	for purposes of gene therapy, the tropism of adenovirus (ad) serotype 5 vectors can be altered with fibers derived from alternative serotypes. however, there is currently limited information available on the cellular receptors used by the approximately 51 known ad serotypes. recently, alpha(2-->3)-linked sialic acid (2,3-sa) has been implicated as the cellular receptor for wild-type ad37. however, some studies have demonstrated that wild-type ad37 uses a 50-kda protein and not sialic acid as its ...	2004	15183060
cd46-utilizing adenoviruses inhibit c/ebpbeta-dependent expression of proinflammatory cytokines.	the majority of adenovirus serotypes utilize the coxsackievirus-adenovirus receptor (car) for virus-host cell attachment, but subgroup b and subgroup d (adenovirus type 37 [ad37]) viruses recognize cd46. cd46 is a ubiquitously expressed receptor that serves as a cofactor for the inactivation of the complement components c3b and c4b, and it also serves as a receptor for diverse microbial pathogens. a reported consequence of cd46 engagement is a reduced capability of human immune cells to express ...	2005	16103178
