FIG. 2.
An Rluc reporter can be used to monitor viral RNA replication. (A) Rluc activities of cell lysates prepared at 34, 48, and 72 h after transfection with RlucRep or RlucRep-NS5mt; (B) IFA of BHK cells transfected with RlucRep or RlucRep-NS5mt at the indicated time points; (C) real-time RT-PCR quantification of RlucRep or RlucRep-NS5mt. RNA was quantified by reference to RNA extracted from a virus stock of a known titer (measured in PFU). Results of one of two representative experiments are shown.
