Viral Specific RNAs in Infected Cells

Abstract

Infection by RNA viruses is followed by the appearance of viral RNA in cells. As well as single and double stranded forms of the viral RNA another viral specific RNA can be found in chicken embryo fibroblast cells infected with the arbovirus Semliki forest virus. This may be concerned in the production of protein specific to this virus.
