Alphaviral expression systems. Electroporation or transfection of plasmid-based alphaviral DNA vectors or in vitro transcribed RNA generates RNA replication and packaging of recombinant alphaviral particles. In case of full-length RNA, replication-proficient particles are generated, whereas application of replicon and helper RNA results in replication-deficient particles. PM, plasma membrane.
