title: In vitro synthesis and modification of mRNA by exvectorial isolates of wound tumor virus.
abstract: Nontransmissible (exvectorial) isolates of wound tumor virus retain the ability to catalyze in vitro synthesis of RNA. Furthermore, exvectorial virus particles exhibit mRNA-2'-O-methyltransferase activity even after long-term (30-year) passage in a host that lacks this enzyme activity.
