Two fowl adenovirus (FAV) isolates (IBH B and IBH B1) collected from outbreaks of private poultry farms in Bazpur area of Uttarakhand in year 2004 and 2005, respectively, were adapted in Chicken Embryo Liver (CEL) cell culture. The cell culture adapted virus grown in bulk was purified using sucrose gradient. The polypeptide pattern of purified virus was analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. A total of 9 polypeptides ranging in molecular weight between 35.2 and 110.0 kDa were observed. Western blot analysis of structural polypeptides also revealed that all 9 polypeptides were immunogenic. Out of these 9 polypeptides, 2 viz. 97.4 kDa and 53.9 kDa were found to be major immunogenic polypeptide based on intense staining.
