title: Biochemical studies on RNA tumor virus information and its transmission in B16 murine melanoma.
abstract: The mouse melanoma B16 contains particles encapsulating a high molecular weight RNA of 60--70S size associated with a reverse transcriptase. The particles possess a density of 1.14--1.18 g/cm3. The RNA shares sequences with the 70S RNAs of several mammalian C-type RNA tumor viruses. The nuclear DNA of the mouse melanoma B16 possesses particle-related sequences not present in the genome of normal C57BL mice.
