VPg-Primed RNA Synthesis of Norovirus RNA-Dependent RNA Polymerases by Using a Novel Cell-Based Assay
12 Oct 2011
Abstract excerpt
Molecular studies of human noroviruses (NoV) have been hampered by the lack of a permissive cell culture system. We have developed a sensitive and reliable mammalian cell-based assay for the human NoV GII.4 strain RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp). The assay is based on the finding that RNAs synthesized by transiently expressed RdRp can stimulate retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I)-dependent reporter...
