[Study of the organotropic and oncotropic properties of human type 16 adenovirus in the body of Syrian hamsters and mice (author's transl)]. / Izuchenie organotrophnykh i onkotropnykh i onkotrophnykh svoistv chelovecheskogo adenovirusa tipa 16 v organizme siriiskikh khomiachkov i myshei

Human adenovirus type 16 was studied in Syrian hamsters bearing SV40 virus induced transplantable tumour and in mice of Black line with Lewis cancer. Despite its tropism to the tumour tissue, the virus injected into the blood stream was first accumulated in the lung tissue and in organs of the reticuloendothelial system (the spleen and liver). When the tumour was in the lung tissue of mice, the virus content in it was much higher than in a similar tumour of subcutaneous localization.
