title: Enzootic nasal tumour of goats: demonstration of a type D-related retrovirus in nasal fluids and tumours.
abstract: Nasal exudate and tumour tissue from goats with enzootic nasal tumours were shown to contain a reverse transcriptase activity associated with a particle of buoyant density typical of retroviruses. The same particle contained a 25,000 Mr protein that cross-reacted with the p27 of Mason-Pfizer monkey virus (MPMV) and with p25 of sheep pulmonary adenomatosis retrovirus. It also contained a low Mr protein related to p10-12 of MPMV.
