Abstract excerpt
RNA polymerase of influenza virus is a specific enzyme necessary for the viral replication. A siRNA against the RNA polymerase and the RNA polymerase inhibitor L-742,001 reduced accumulation of viral RNAs in the infected cells. L-742,001 strongly inhibited virus re-growth after removal of the agent from the culture, whereas the neuraminidase inhibitor zanamivir did not. L-742,001-resistant mutants showed a Thr-20...
