'This book will clearly be of great value to those directly involved in adenovirus research and should find a wider audience because of the use of adenoviruses by molecular biologists studying the mechanisms of gene regulation. It represents good value for money not only because it is broadly based, but because of the vast numbers of references contained within it.' The Society for General Microbiology Quarterly, 13 (1986)

• 1 A Consensus Sequence for the Adenovirus-2 Genome.- 2 Structure and Function of the Adenovirus-2 Genome.- 3 On the Mechanism of Adenovirus DNA Replication.- 4 Transcriptional and Post-Transcriptional Regulation of Adenovirus Gene Expression.- 5 Genetic Elements Governing Adenoviral Gene Expression.- 6 Inactivation of Viral Promoters by In Vitro Methylation: Studies on the Adenovirus and Baculovirus System.- 7 Early Proteins Coded by the Adenovirus Genome: Functional Aspects.- 8 Adenovirus Genetics.- 9 Alterations in Cellular Functions in Adenovirus-Infected and Transformed Cells.- 10 Expression of Class I Major Histocompatibility Antigens in Adenovirus-Transformed Cells.- 11 Oncogenic Transformation by Human Adenoviruses and Their DNA.- 12 Classification and Epidemiology of Adenoviruses.
