Reverse transcriptase activity has been found in a type C virus isolated from a cell line from a patient with lymphoma which showed antigenic characteristics distinct from other mammalian type C viruses. These findings open several possibilities for determining the relationship of this virus to the pathogenesis of human lymphoma.
