Detection of E1A and hexon are expected to have low sensitivity, as E1A is the first gene to be expressed in the viral replication cycle 1–2 h post-infection, while L3 (which encodes the hexon protein) is expressed in the later stages (36–48 h) after infection, just before the cells are lysed [38, 39]. The gene discussed is DHTKD1; the disease is infection.
