It was initially discovered in studies with RSV, an animal disease agent. The antibiotic actinomycin D was added to infected cultures and inhibited RSV multiplication. It was also found that DNA synthesis inhibitors such as 5-flourodeoxyurdidine also blocked infection. Researchers Charles Temin and David Baltimore concluded that DNA was synthesized by RSV during infection, and soon after found a substance now present in all RNA oncogenic viruses. FTP, name this enzyme that synthesizes DNA on an RNA template and which is found in all retroviruses.
