RNAi TARGETING OF VIRUSES

摘要

The invention relates to methods and compositions that inhibit viral replication, e.g., CMV replication, within a host or host cell. Methods and compositions of the invention utilize RNA interference to block the translation of mRNA into proteins which are important or essential to viral replication. The method and compositions can be used to study CMV infection in in vitro cell culture and to treat CMV infection in non-human primates and human subjects.
