  • instead, GAPDH binds to the 3' termini of plus- and minus-strand RNAs of JEV by electrophoretic mobility shift assays. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Accordingly, GAPDH binds to the minus strand more efficiently than to the plus strand of JEV RNAs. (biomedcentral.com)

  • RT-RPA and RT-LAMP are highly sensitive methods, but can suffer from nonspecific amplification under isothermal conditions, leading to false-positive results when used for viral RNA detections. (nature.com)
  • Following transfusion, the patient showed fever remission, improved respiratory status, and rapidly decreased viral burden in respiratory fluids and SARS-CoV-2 RNAemia. (frontiersin.org)
  • Initial direct viral detection is typically performed using an upper respiratory tract (URT) specimen. (medscape.com)

  • The current study shifts to small molecules that target RNA. (news-medical.net)
  • Small molecules that are directed against RNA are slowly making their appearance as therapeutics, with one drug targeting non-ribosomal RNA approved a few months ago to help patients with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). (news-medical.net)
  • A host of viral RNAs and other RNAs involved in disease processes have also been demonstrated to be targeted effectively by small molecules. (news-medical.net)
  • Such exquisite regulation is critical to making the correct levels of the viral proteins necessary for successful replication. (harvard.edu)
  • If reverse transcription was reduced by treatment with RNAse, it was concluded that the sample contained mostly RNA. (virology.ws)
  • Enantiomeric 3-deaza-1',6'-isoneplanocins (C-3 unsubstituted 7a/7b and C-3 with a bromine 8a/8b) lacking the 4'-hydroxymethyl as mechanistically designed anti-viral targets have been prepared by utilizing the Ullmann reaction. (researchgate.net)
  • Zinc is a decidedly anti-viral mineral. (dadamo.com)
