Avian myeoloblastosis virus (AMV): only one side of the coin

<p>Abstract</p> <p>For many years, scientists and suppliers have refered to AMV-RT as the reverse transcriptase produced by the Avian Myelobalstosis Virus. This manuscript briefly reviews the molecular basis for biological dependence of AMV for the envelope and RT proteins that are...
