Production and characterization of monoclonal antibodies which affect RNA-dependent DNA polymerase activity of porcine retrovirus reverse transcriptase.

Histocompatible miniature boar model: Selection of transformed cell lines of b and t lineages producing retrovirus

“…Reverse transcriptase activity of the virion is characterized (Suzuka et al, 1985). Recently, monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against reverse transcriptase of Tsukuba-1 virus have been raised (Suzuki et al, 1988). But to our knowledge, neither the cytopathic nor the oncogenic activities of Tsukuba-1 retrovirus, or of any other porcine retrovirus, are described.…”
