Value 2.2 µm/sec Range: ±0.2 µm/sec
Organism Human Homo sapiens
Reference Leopold PL, Kreitzer G, Miyazawa N, Rempel S, Pfister KK, Rodriguez-Boulan E, Crystal RG. Dynein- and microtubule-mediated translocation of adenovirus serotype 5 occurs after endosomal lysis. Hum Gene Ther. 2000 Jan 1 11(1):151-65. p.154 right column 2nd paragraph from bottomPubMed ID10646647
Method Translocations of Ad virions in A549 cells were imaged with an intensified charge-coupled device (CCD) camera and recorded to videotape.
Comments Linear velocities during periods of smooth translocation averaged 2.2±0.2µm/sec (n=18). For speed of 2.6µm/sec see Suomalainen et al., 1999 PMID 10037788
