Actively replicating West Nile virus is resistant to cytoplasmic delivery of siRNA
28 Jun 2005
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: West Nile virus is an emerging human pathogen for which specific antiviral therapy has not been developed. Recent studies have suggested that RNA interference (RNAi) has therapeutic potential as a sequence specific inhibitor of viral infection. Here, we examine the ability of exogenous small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) to block the replication of West Nile virus in human cells. RESULTS: WNV replication...
