摘要:
Methods for detecting populations of newly synthesized and newly initiated RNAs in a cell-free system are described. Suitable templates for the populations of newly synthesized and newly initiated RNAs are viral replicon RNAs, particularly HCV viral replicon RNA. The newly synthesized and newly initiated RNAs may be formed in the presence of a labeled nucleotide analog suitable for detection and/or quantitation of the RNAs. The assay may be employed to identify small molecule inhibitors of RNA synthesis of positive strand RNA viruses such as Hepatitis C Virus.

Methods for evaluating the antiviral activity of test compounds are provided. Further aspects of the methods involve the retroviral capsid protein of HIV-1. In another aspect, methods of reducing mortality associated with AIDS with a compound that binds to the apical cleft near the C-terminal end of the N-terminal domain of the HIV-1 capsid protein are provided. Derivatives of CAP-1, CAP-2, CAP-3, CAP-4, CAP-5, CAP-6 and CAP-7 are described that bind to the apical cleft of the N-terminal domain of the HIV-1 capsid protein and inhibit proper assembly of the core particle.
摘要:
Cells expressing chimeric hepatitis C virus NS4A protein are disclosed, as are vectors and methods for preparing such cells and methods of using the cells and the chimeric proteins therein in screening assays for detecting compounds that alter the associative characteristics of NS4A proteins. Disclosed screening assays are suitable for use in high throughput screening of compound libraries to identify compounds with a exhibiting specific anti-viral activity against hepatitis C virus.
