Construction of a Chikungunya Virus, Replicon, and Helper Plasmids for Transfection of Mammalian Cells
31 Dec 2022
Abstract excerpt
The genome of Alphaviruses can be modified to produce self-replicating RNAs and virus-like particles, which are useful virological tools. In this work, we generated three plasmids for the transfection of mammalian cells: an infectious clone of Chikungunya virus (CHIKV), one that codes for the structural proteins (helper plasmid), and another one that codes nonstructural proteins (replicon plasmid). All of these...
