    Adenoviruses have attracted considerable attention since it was discovered by TRENTIN et all. and HUEBNER et al. that certain species (formerly called serotypes) are oncogenic when injected into newborn hamsters. Since then, adenoviruses have been used extensively as a model for studies on tumor induction in vivo and. cell transformation in vitro. Together with the small papovaviruses they have played an important role in fundamental cancer research and have provided invaluable tools for studies on the organization and the expression of eukaryotic genes. The introduction of new techniques of DNA sequencing, molecular cloning, and DNA transfection in the past few years have furter contributed to a rapid development of adenovirus research in all its diverse aspects
