    Abstract:
    DNA restriction endonuclease cleavage analysis and serum neutralization test were performed in strains of adenovirus types 19 (Ad-19) and 37 (Ad-37) isolated from patients with acute conjunctivitis in Sapporo (Japan), Kaohsiung (Taiwan) and Pusan (South Korea) during the period of 1977 to 1984. Ad-19 and Ad-37 could be roughly differentiated, but a fair degree of cross reactivity was noted by serological test. By DNA restriction endonuclease analysis, Ad-19 isolates, Ad-19 prototype strain and Ad-37 strains were clearly differentiated. It was suggested by DNA cleavage patterns that both Ad-19 and Ad-37 isolates in East Asia are the same as those currently found in Europe and the USA. A new subtype of Ad-37 was found by DNA cleavage analysis among the isolates obtained in Sapporo and Kaohsiung in 1980.
