A Single siRNA Suppresses Fatal Encephalitis Induced by Two Different Flaviviruses
7 Feb 2006
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) and West Nile virus (WNV) are neurotropic flaviviruses that can cause acute encephalitis with a high fatality rate. Currently there is no effective treatment for these infections. METHODS AND FINDINGS: We tested RNA interference (RNAi)-based intervention to suppress lethal JE and WN encephalitis in mice. To induce RNAi, we used either lentivirally expressed short...
