Molecular methods permit measurements of viral genomic RNA as well as of the negative-strand template generated during rhinovirus replication. As such, assays of negative-strand RNA can provide a means for relative quantification of levels of double-stranded RNA that is generated during replication and that interacts with pattern recognition receptors to activate the host immune response. Here we provide RT-PCR protocols for quantitative assays for rhinovirus genomic and negative-strand RNAs.

摘要

Molecular methods permit measurements of viral genomic RNA as well as of the negative-strand template generated during rhinovirus replication. As such, assays of negative-strand RNA can provide a means for relative quantification of levels of double-stranded RNA that is generated during replication and that interacts with pattern recognition receptors to activate the host immune response. Here we provide RT-PCR protocols for quantitative assays for rhinovirus genomic and negative-strand RNAs.
