  • Title: Lack of serological relationship among DNA polymerases of avian leukosis-sarcoma viruses, reticuloendotheliosis viruses, and chicken cells.

    Abstract:
    Antibodies against a large and a small DNA polymerase isolated from chicken embryos and against avian myeloblastosis virus DNA polymerase were used to study the serological relationships of the DNA polymerase activities of three avian systems with RNA and a DNA polymerase-avian leukosis-sarcoma viruses, reticuloendotheliosis viruses, and a fraction from uninfected chicken cells. The DNA polymerase activity of disrupted virions of all avian leukosis-sarcoma viruses tested was neutralized to the same extent by antibody against avian myeloblastosis virus DNA polymerase and was not neutralized by the antibodies against chicken cellular DNA polymerases. The viruses tested included induced leukosis viruses and Rous-associated virus-O. The DNA polymerase activity of disrupted virions of all of the reticuloendotheliosis viruses was not neutralized by any of the antibodies. The chicken endogenous RNA-directed DNA polymerase activity was neutralized partially or completely, in different experiments, by antibody against the small DNA polymerase isolated from chicken embryos, but was not neutralized by the other two antibodies.
