Four pairs of miRNA sequences were designed and synthesized that targeted different regions of the gag gene. To avoid the generation of escape variants during virus infection, expression vectors of multi-target miRNAs were constructed using the multi-target serial strategy (against different regions of the gag, pol, and env genes). CONCLUSION: The strategy of multi-target miRNAs might be an effective method for inhibiting ALV replication and the acquisition of resistant mutations. In some studies, transfection of siRNA designed to target C virus (HCV) remarkably inhibited the expression of virus-specific proteins and protected cells against HCV RNA, in vitro [4, 5] . In another study, Hepatitis B virus (HBV) replication was successfully inhibited after plasmid expression of HBV siRNA transfected into mouse liver [6] . ./cache/cord-317773-jdq1d98i.txt ./txt/cord-317773-jdq1d98i.txt
