title: Specificity of the DNA product of the C-type virus RNA-dependent DNA polymerase.
abstract: The specificity of the DNA product of the RNA-dependent DNA polymerase found in C-type virions was analyzed by reciprocal hybridization with RNA from viruses of mouse, hamster, cat, and viper. These tests revealed a clear species specificity for the DNA product with no detectable interspecies hybridization.
