Human fetal thymuses were investigated in a search for retroviruses. By electron microscopy, retrovirus-like particles were detected in the thymus cells only when they were cocultured with mitomycin C-treated human B-cells. Reverse transcriptase activity in the culture medium was found at a density of 1.15-1.17 g/cm3 in sucrose density gradients.
为寻找逆转录病毒,对人类胎儿胸腺进行了研究。通过电子显微镜观察,只有当胸腺细胞与丝裂霉素C处理过的人类B细胞共培养时,才在胸腺细胞中检测到类逆转录病毒颗粒。在蔗糖密度梯度中,培养基中的逆转录酶活性在密度为1.15 - 1.17 g/cm³时被发现。
