Abstract excerpt
Cell-free synthesis of an infectious virus is an ideal tool for elucidating the mechanism of viral replication and for screening anti-viral drugs. In the present study, the synthesis of Encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV) from its RNA in HeLa and 293-F cell extracts was enhanced by employing a dialysis system in combination with a ribozyme technology. Although translation and processing of the EMCV polyprotein were...
