Viral envelope protein 53R gene highly specific silencing and iridovirus resistance in fish Cells by AmiRNA.

BACKGROUND: Envelope protein 53R was identified from frog Rana grylio virus (RGV), a member of the family Iridoviridae, and it plays an important role in the virus assembly. Although inhibition of iridovirus major capsid protein (MCP) by small hairpin RNAs (shRNAs) has been shown to cause resistance...
