RNAi tackles a sexually transmitted disease
Article Abstract:
The potential of the process of RNA interference (RNAi) in the prevention and control of herpes simplex virus-2 (HSV-2) in a rodent model is explored. The results reveal that the RNAi in addition to possessing the potential of preventing and controlling viral infections also possesses the advantage of speed that helps in quick translation of the genomic information into effective therapeutics.

An in vitro fluorescence screen to identify antivirals that disrupt hepatitis B virus capsid assembly
Article Abstract:
An in vitro assay of hepatitis B virus (HBV) capsid assembly is developed for testing potential inhibitors, which is based on fluorescence quenching of dye-labeled capsid protein. This approach might facilitate the identification of anitvirals targeting viruses other than HBV, such as avian influenza and HIV.
