Evidence for SV40 Specific RNA containing Virus and Host Specific Sequences

Nature New Biology volume 235, pages 46–47 (1972)Cite this article

Abstract

AFTER infection of monkey kidney cells with simian virus 40 (SV40), several species of SV40 specific RNA are synthesized1. Most SV40 RNA have a molecular weight of about 6×105 and 8×105 as measured by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis1. In addition to these classes of RNA, a large heterogeneous SV40 specific RNA species of up to three times the length of the monomeric SV40 DNA molecule has been observed1–4. Nothing is known about the structure of this large heterogeneous virus specific RNA.
