Adenovirus Protocol...help!

[Gerard Fernandes]

We are working with an adenovirus that is known to replicate while in the 
continuos cell line HEK-293.  However, it doesn't appear to grow well in 
HeLa cells.  CPE is evident in HEK-293 cell monolayers, but there is a 
block in release of cell progeny virions and restriction to a single 
cycle of infection in the HeLa cells.  

We are attempting to compare the replication kinetics between the two cell 
lines and are in search of the appropriate protocol (specifically, the 
infection conditions, sampling times, harvesting of progeny virus, and 
measurements of progeny virus yield).  If you are aware of any protocols 
dealing with such an experiment, or if you have any ideas, please pass 
them on as soon as possible.

Thank you for your time,

		Gerard and Neal
