Modeling ebola virus genome replication and transcription with minigenome systems

Cressey, Tessa ; Brauburger, Kristina LU and Mühlberger, Elke (2017) In Methods in Molecular Biology 1628. p.79-92
Abstract

In this chapter, we describe the minigenome system for Ebola virus (EBOV), which reconstitutes EBOV polymerase activity in cells and can be used to model viral genome replication and transcription. This protocol comprises all steps including cell culture, plasmid preparation, transfection, and luciferase reporter assay readout.
