The practical use of RNAi therapy for HIV infection will depend on overcoming several challenges, including the ability to establish long-term expression of siRNA without off-target effects and the capacity to counteract mutant escape viruses. [4] Hence, in plants and Drosophila, when a cell they have sequence specificity for silencing mRNAs, these small is infected by a virus, an RNAi response is triggered by the foreign RNAs potentially represent a future class of antiviral drugs.
