Identification of a Cryptic Prokaryotic Promoter within the cDNA Encoding the 5′ End of Dengue Virus RNA Genome
31 Mar 2011
Abstract excerpt
Infectious cDNA clones of RNA viruses are important research tools, but flavivirus cDNA clones have proven difficult to assemble and propagate in bacteria. This has been attributed to genetic instability and/or host cell toxicity, however the mechanism leading to these difficulties has not been fully elucidated. Here we identify and characterize an efficient cryptic bacterial promoter in the cDNA encoding the...
