Abstract
A 12,000-dalton polypeptide was partially purified from the woolly monkey RNA C-type virus. A sensitive and specific radioimmunoassay for this polypeptide detected major differences in the reactivities of woolly monkey and gibbon ape viruses. In contrast, these viruses were indistinguishable in immunoassays for two other woolly monkey virion proteins, the major structural polypeptide and the reverse transcriptase. Each assay readily differentiated the woolly and gibbon from other mammalian RNA C-type viruses.
