Maedi virus contains a ribonucleic acid (RNA) which can be resolved into three major components, namely, 62S, 33S, and 13S, by sucrose gradient centrifugation. The presence of RNA- and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)-dependent DNA polymerase in virions of maedi virus was demonstrated. The enzyme product could be converted into acid-soluble form by pancreatic deoxyribonuclease, but was resistant to digestion by pancreatic ribonuclease and to hydrolysis by NaOH.
