摘要:Brief labeling of cells infected with simian virus 40 with tritiated uridine resulted in the incorporation of part of the label into material that was soluble in 1 M NaCl and sensitive to KOH, with a buoyant density close to that of DNA. The properties of this material suggest that it represents single-stranded nascent molecules of messenger RNA of simian virus 40 hydrogen-bonded over a small portion of their length to viral DNA templates. The name "simian virus 40 transcriptional intermediate molecules" is suggested for these naturally occurring DNA{middle dot}RNA hybrid molecules. The DNA in the hybrid seems to be in the form of replicative intermediate molecules.
