Infectious C-type virus isolated from a baboon placenta

Nature volume 248, pages 17–20 (1974)Cite this article

Abstract

A C-type virus (“M7”) has been isolated from a specimen of baboon placenta cocultivated with various mammalian host cell lines. Nucleic acid hybridisation with a 3H-DNA transcript of the viral genome demonstrates that this virus is genetically different from previously studied mammalian C-type viruses, and suggests that M7 is an endogenous baboon virus.
