Primate RNA tumor virus-like DNA synthesized endogenously by RNA-dependent DNA polymerase in virus-like particles from fresh human acute leukemic blood cells. 1973

R C Gallo, and N R Miller, and W C Saxinger, and D Gillespie

A particle of discrete biochemical composition was purified from fresh, unfrozen peripheral blood leukocytes of human patients with acute myeloblastic leukemia. This particle endogenously synthesized DNA by use of an RNA primer and template. About half of the DNA sequences synthesized in the presence of actinomycin D hybridized to RNA isolated from type-C sarcoma viruses of primates or mice; lower annealing values were obtained with RNA isolated from other sarcoma or leukemia viruses. The results confirm and extend previous results from molecular hybridization experiments related to the existence in human leukemia of components of RNA tumor viruses.

D009693 Nucleic Acid Hybridization Widely used technique which exploits the ability of complementary sequences in single-stranded DNAs or RNAs to pair with each other to form a double helix. Hybridization can take place between two complimentary DNA sequences, between a single-stranded DNA and a complementary RNA, or between two RNA sequences. The technique is used to detect and isolate specific sequences, measure homology, or define other characteristics of one or both strands.
