<p>The invention relates to methods and compositions for inhibition of viral replication in animal cells. In particular, inhibition of viral replication in a target cell is achieved by introducing into the cell (1) a protein which can be incorporated along with wild type nucleocapsid subunits into a viral nucleocapsid assembling within the cell, and thereby renders the nucleocapsid deficient in encapsidating viral nucleic acid; or (2) a recombinant nucleic acid construct that directs overexpression of the protein.</p> |
