ABSTRACT Selected members of the adenovirus family have been shown to interact with coxsackie receptor, α v integrins, and sialic acid on target cells. Initial interactions subgenus D adenoviruses cells until now poorly characterized. Here, we demonstrate that type 8 (Ad8), Ad19a, Ad37 use as a functional cellular whereas Ad9 Ad19 prototypes do not.
