摘要:
A unique HCV RNA molecule is provided having an enhanced efficiency of establishing cell culture replication. Novel adaptive mutations have been identified within the HCV non-structural region that improves the efficiency of establishing persistently replicating HCV RNA in cell culture. This self-replicating polynucleotide molecule contains, contrary to all previous reports, a 5'-NTR that can be either an A as an alternative to the G already disclosed and therefore provides an alternative to existing systems comprising a self-replicating HCV RNA molecule. The G-->A mutation gives rise to HCV RNA molecules that, in conjunction with mutations in the HCV non-structural region, such as the G(2042)C/R mutations, possess greater efficiency of transduction and/or replication. These RNA molecules when transfected in a cell line are useful for evaluating potential inhibitors of HCV replication.

摘要:
A method for measuring heterodimerization of HIV RT, which comprises the steps of:a) providing a first solution comprising p66 subunit homodimers in the presence of a dissociation agent; b) contacting the first solution with p51 RT subunits and incubating in the presence of a reassociation buffer to allow association of a complex of p66/p51 RT subunits, wherein one of the subunits comprises an affinity tag and the other of the subunits comprises a detectable label; c) contacting the incubate of step b) with an affinity medium under conditions that enable the p66/p51 complex to bind to the affinity medium; and d) determining the amount of complex formed by measuring the level of detectable label bound to the affinity medium (or by measuring the reconstituted RT polymerase activity). Steps a) to d) can be carried out in the presence or absence of a test compound followed by e) comparing the test compound sample to a control sample lacking the compound, whereby modulated p66/p51 complex formation in the test compound sample is indicative of the ability of the compound to modulate, inhibit or enhance heterodimerization.The method can be used to screen for inhibitors of HIV RT dimerization.
