title: [Reverse transcription of influenza virion RNA without exogenous primer].
abstract: Reverse transcriptase has been shown to transcribe virion DNA of influenza A virus without an exogeneous primer. At least six virion RNA segments are transcribed with the formation of complementary 4S DNA product. A possible primer function of hairpin structures at the 3'-end of virion RNA segments is discussed.
