Abstract
Reverse transcriptase PCR (RT-PCR) consistently detected bovine leukemia vi rus transcripts in fresh cells, and competitive RT-PCR enumerated these tra nscripts. The detection of transcripts in limited numbers of tumor cells in dicated that expression occurs in a minority of cells, The data suggest Cha t individual cells contain hundreds of copies of the tax/rex: transcript in vivo.
