Abstract

Viral infection is a leading cause of disease and death. Although vaccines are the most effective method of controlling viral infections, antiviral drugs are also important. Here, we established an in vitro transcription system by using fluorescein isothiocyanate-conjugated primers for RNA polymerases of viruses which are important disease-causing human pathogens (influenza, hepatitis C, Japanese encephalitis viruses, and enterovirus 71). This technology will allow us to analyze RNA polymerase activity without using radioisotopes.
