RNAi screening reveals requirement for host cell secretory pathway in infection by diverse families of negative-strand RNA viruses
7 Nov 2011
Abstract excerpt
Negative-strand (NS) RNA viruses comprise many pathogens that cause serious diseases in humans and animals. Despite their clinical importance, little is known about the host factors required for their infection. Using vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV), a prototypic NS RNA virus in the family Rhabdoviridae, we conducted a human genome-wide siRNA screen and identified 72 host genes required for viral infection. Many...
