| BioModel Description | Huh-7.5 cells for screening a library consisted of 122 siRNAs targeted to 140 membrane trafficking genes and 18 additional genes important for replication and membrane organization in other viral systems | |
| Confirmatory Screen Description | To limit the possibility of siRNA off-target effects, individual siRNAs were tested. Cell viability using a luminescence-based assay was quantified that measures cellular ATP levels, following 5 days of silencing to eliminate phenotypes resulting from sig | |
| Primary Screen Description# | In fluorescence microscopy assay, the siRNAs that inhibited extracellular infectious HCV production by more than 1 standard deviation of siRNA treated cells (>65% inhibition) were classified as hits and were characterized in secondary assays. | |
