Abstract excerpt
The oncornaviruses share several biological, biochemical, and structural properties that distinguish them from other RNA viruses. Rous sarcoma virus, a representative of avian oncornaviruses, manifests two major functions: cell transformation and virus replication. Both functions are independent, and are expressed separately in defective viruses. The virus has a 60-70S RNA, composed of 35 S subunits. It appears...
