  • Compounds that modulate negative-sense, single-stranded RNA virus replication and uses thereof
    Patent number: 8629283
    Abstract: The present invention relates to compounds that modulate the replication of negative-sense, single-stranded RNA viruses, such as influenza virus, and the use of such compounds. The invention relates to methods for increasing the titer of negative-sense, single-stranded RNA viruses, such as influenza virus, in substrates for virus propagation (e.g., tissue culture). The invention also relates to the use of compounds that decrease virus replication as antiviral agents. The invention further relates to methods for identifying compounds that modulate the replication of negative-sense, single-stranded RNA viruses, in particular, influenza virus.
