Detection of reverse transcriptase activity in human cells.

Abstract:

:Samples of three nonmalignant and seven leukemic human cells were examined for DNA polymerase activity that could be identified as RNA tumor virus reverse transcriptase. Experiments on virus-infected model animal cells provided the basis for cell fractionation procedures, and reconstituted systems of known virus, added to human cells, established a threshold of virus detection by enzyme assay at 1 to 10 particles/cell. DNA polymerase activity with some properties similar to a reverse transcriptase was detected in some of the human leukemic cells. However, parallel analyses of nonmalignant cells showed sufficient similarities to raise serious questions about the specificity of the criteria. Reverse transcriptase activity has been reported to be present in white blood cells from a proportion of cases of leukemia; however, it is concluded from the present study that the usual enzymatic criteria using synthetic template primers, which were used in most of the studies reported, are not sufficient to identify a DNA polymerase activity as viral reverse transcriptase.
