Identification and some properties of a unique DNA polymerase from cells infected with human B-lymphotropic virus

J Virol. 1989 Mar;63(3):1400-3. doi: 10.1128/JVI.63.3.1400-1403.1989.

Abstract

A new DNA polymerase and DNase activity were identified from cells infected with human B-lymphotropic herpesvirus (HBLV). DNA polymerase associated with HBLV infection was similar in its sensitivity to inhibition by ppi analogs as other herpesvirus-specific DNA polymerases but was dissimilar in its inhibition by certain nucleoside triphosphates.
