RNA Polymerase in Mumps Virion

Jacqueline P Bernard a,1, Robert L Northrop a,2
PMCID: PMC355495  PMID: 4836602

Abstract

Mumps virions of the Enders' strain were examined for polymerase activity in vitro. An RNA-dependent RNA polymerase was found to be associated with the virion. The general properties of the reaction appear to be similar to those described for other paramyxoviruses.
