Cores, or nucleoids, have been isolated from particles in human milk. The cores have a density of 1.26-1.27 g/ml and contain a 60-70S RNA in association with an RNA-instructed DNA polymerase. The data offer further evidence of similarity between human milk particles and animal RNA tumor viruses. In addition, core isolation provides a new method for detection of these particles by minimizing the difficulties generated by the presence of cell-associated debris often found in the density region (1.16-1.19 g/ml) characteristic of the intact virion. The procedures described now make available preparations of purified subviral components of a putative human RNA tumor virus.
已从人乳中的颗粒中分离出核心或核样体。这些核心的密度为1.26 - 1.27克/毫升,含有一种60 - 70S RNA,并与一种RNA指导的DNA聚合酶相关联。这些数据进一步证明了人乳颗粒与动物RNA肿瘤病毒之间的相似性。此外,核心分离提供了一种新的检测这些颗粒的方法,可将完整病毒体特征性密度区域(1.16 - 1.19克/毫升)中经常存在的细胞相关碎片所产生的困难降至最低。现在所描述的方法可制备出一种假定的人RNA肿瘤病毒的纯化亚病毒成分制剂。
