Isolation and characterization of the positive-sense replicative intermediate of a negative-strand RNA virus

Abstract excerpt

Negative-strand RNA viruses represent a significant class of important pathogens that cause substantial morbidity and mortality in human and animal hosts worldwide. A defining feature of these viruses is that their single-stranded RNA genomes are of opposite polarity to messenger RNA and are replicated through a positive-sense intermediate. The replicative intermediate is thought to exist as a complementary...
