We report here that siRNAs targeted against L mRNA of MeV, either synthetic siRNAs or those generated by pcPUR + U6i-based expression plasmids, effectively and specifically inhibited replication of both MeV and SSPE virus without exhibiting any cytotoxic effect. We report here that siRNAs targeted against L mRNA of MeV, either synthetic ones or those generated by pcPUR + U6i-based expression plasmids, effectively inhibit replication of both MeV and SSPE virus. Indeed, we demonstrated in the present study that siRNAs targeted against selected portions of L mRNA of MeV, especially MV-L2 -L4 and -L5, either synthetic siRNAs or those expressed by pcPUR + U6i-based plasmids, effectively inhibited replication of both MeV and SSPE virus (Figs. ./cache/cord-286103-cgky6ar6.txt ./txt/cord-286103-cgky6ar6.txt
