In 1997, Patience et al. reported that an example of these organisms found in pig kidney cells could survive in humans. Peyton Rous discovered a carcinogenic one of these organisms that causes sarcoma in chickens. These organisms compose class VI of the Baltimore classification system. Temin and Baltimore discovered the enzyme central to their function. The most famous member of this family uses gp120 and gp41 glycoproteins to bind to CD4 and enter helper T cells. For 10 points, identify this class of viruses that reproduce via reverse transcription of their single-stranded RNA genome, the most famous of which is HIV.
