Specific inhibition of mammalian ribonucleic acid C-type virus deoxyribonucleic acid polymerases by rat antisera
Abstract
Inhibition of the ribonucleic acid (RNA)- and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)-dependent DNA polymerase activities of mammalian C-type viruses was obtained with sera from rats bearing murine leukemia virus-induced transplant tumors. Polymerase activities of nonmammalian (viper) C-type virus and murine mammary tumor virus were not inhibited by such sera nor by serum from a rat immunized with the DNA polymerase of feline leukemia virus purified by isoelectric focusing. The latter serum appeared to inhibit preferentially the DNA-dependent DNA polymerase activity of mammalian C-type viruses showing no inhibition of RNA-dependent DNA synthesis.
