Abstract

Physiological ionic strength conditions prevented low pH-mediated destabilization of the adenovirion. A conformational change of the virion was induced at low pH as demonstrated by endoproteolytic cleavage of virions with dispase at pH 5.0. Hidden cleavage sites of the hexons were exposed and upon enzymatic digestion, virions still were intact as physical entities. Enzymatic cleavage of the hexon protein increased its hydrophobicity.
