Chicken adenovirus (CELO virus) particles augment receptor-mediated DNA delivery to mammalian cells and yield exceptional levels of stable transformants. [PDF]

, 1993
Delivery of genes via receptor-mediated endocytosis is severely limited by the poor exit of endocytosed DNA from the endosome. A large enhancement in delivery efficiency has been obtained by including human adenovirus particles in the delivery system ...

Virus-like particles in the tracheal mite Acarapis woodi (Rennie)

, 1991
Tracheal mite infected honey bees were collected from Scotland and from California. The lyzed cells of the body cavity of tracheal mites in the honey bees collected from Scotland harboured numerous 27 nm isometric virus-like particles.
