Specific serological relationships were found among the partially purified DNA polymerases of the two groups of avian viruses whose virions contain RNA and a DNA polymerase-the avian leukosis-sarcoma viruses and the reticuloendotheliosis viruses-and three avian species which are natural hosts for these viruses: chickens, turkeys, and Pekin ducks. No relationships were found to DNA polymerases of HeLa cells or Escherichia coli. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that RNA viruses with a DNA polymerase originated from normal cellular components.
在两组病毒粒子含有RNA和一种DNA聚合酶的禽病毒（禽白血病-肉瘤病毒和网状内皮组织增殖症病毒）以及作为这些病毒天然宿主的三种禽类（鸡、火鸡和北京鸭）的部分纯化DNA聚合酶之间，发现了特定的血清学关系。未发现与海拉细胞或大肠杆菌的DNA聚合酶存在关系。这些结果与具有DNA聚合酶的RNA病毒起源于正常细胞成分这一假说相一致。
