Abstract
The performance characteristics of HEK, HDF, and MK cells from adenovirus isolation were examined for eye and respiratory tract specimens. HEK cells were superior to HDF and MK cells in terms of both speed of virus detection and sensitivity.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
