TL;DR
Two DNA polymerases have been purified from blood lymphocytes of normal human individuals and neither of the DNA polymerase transcribes the heteropolymeric regions of tumor-virus RNA into DNA.
Abstract
Two DNA polymerases have been purified from blood lymphocytes of normal human individuals. In contrast to a DNA polymerase isolated from lymphoblasts from individuals with leukemia, neither of the DNA polymerases from normal lymphocytes transcribes the heteropolymeric regions of tumor-virus RNA into DNA.

2,018 Citations1970David Baltimore
Two independent groups of investigators have found evidence of an enzyme in virions of RNA tumour viruses which synthesizes DNA from an RNA template, apparently the classical process of information transfer from DNA to RNA can be inverted.

Studies indicate that the inhibition of mammalian DNA polymerase by the 5′-triphosphate of 9-β-d-arabinofuranosylcytosine (ara-ATP) is also competitive with the corresponding deoxytriphosphates.
