## Abstract A procedure was developed for specific discrimination and typing of the enteric human adenoviruses, Ad40 and Ad41, after polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification of a sequence in the hexon gene highly conserved among all 47 seroβtypes recognised. By Taq I restriction of the 300 bp

Several studies have been performed to assess the diagnostic value of using small tandem repeat (STR) markers and quantitative fluorescent polymerase chain reaction (QF-PCR) assays for the rapid detection of aneuploidies involving chromosomes
## Abstract Adenoviruses are associated with endemic and epidemic acute conjunctivitis, large nosocomial outbreaks reflecting virus transmission on unwashed hands or inadequately sterilised ophthalmic instruments. The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) proved more sensitive than antigen detection by i
The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has been used previously for the detection and typing of adenoviruses directly in clinical samples. Since under clinical conditions subgenus-specific identification is often sufficient, we extended the genus-and type-specific PCR by a subgenusspecific PCR. By sequ
