Reverse transcriptases of primate viruses as immunological markers.
Antibodies were prepared against the DNA polymerases (reverse transcriptases) of three potentially oncogenic RNA viruses of primates. Two type C viruses, isolated from a woolly monkey fibrosarcoma and from a gibbon ape lymphosarcoma, have polymerases that are immunologically related to each other and are distinct from the type C viruses isolated from other mammals.
