Abstract
Hybridisation of RNA from a baboon endogenous type C RNA virus to DNA from tissues of leukaemic patients indicates that a virus of this type is horizontally transmitted among humans. DNA from several patients with leukaemia hybridised 70% of the hybridisable RNA from baboon endogenous type C RNA virus (BaEV) and yielded hybrids of high tm, whereas DNA from normal human tissues hybridised only 23% of the BaEV RNA, and the tm of these hybrids was lower.Entities:
