Serological characterization of a purified reverse transcriptase from osteosarcoma of a child

Serological analysis of the reverse transcriptase (RTase), purified from human osteosarcoma tissue, has shown that it is antigenically related to DNA polymerases from BEV and from RD-114. No cross-reactivity of the osteosarcoma RTase was observed with RTases purified from AMV, RLV, SiSV, GaLV and from human spleen of a patient with myelofibrosis.
