RNA Polymerase in Mumps Virion

^a Department of Microbiology, Rush Presbyterian St. Luke's Medical Center and Graduate College, University of Illinois at the Medical Center, Chicago, Illinois 60612

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.
