Unexpected complexity in the interference activity of a cloned influenza defective interfering RNA
Abstract Background Defective interfering (DI) viruses are natural antivirals made by nearly all viruses. They have a highly deleted genome (thus being non-infectious) and interfere with the replication of genetically related infectious viruses. We have produced the first potential therapeutic DI vi...
