Virus Promoters Determine Interference by Defective RNAs: Selective Amplification of Mini-RNA Vectors and Rescue from cDNA by a 3′ Copy-Back Ambisense Rabies Virus
1 May 1999
Abstract excerpt
Typical defective interfering (DI) RNAs are more successful in the competition for viral polymerase than the parental (helper) virus, which is mostly due to an altered DI promoter composition. Rabies virus (RV) internal deletion RNAs which possess the authentic RV terminal promoters, and which therefore are transcriptionally active and can be used as vectors for foreign gene expression, are poorly propagated in...
