Second, growth of VSV is known to be highly sensitive to IFN, however, its replication in A549 cells was not affected by any of the dsRNAs described here (data not shown).
Anti-RSV dsRNAs do not activate an interferon response
The extraordinary selectivity of RNAi, combined with its potency—in theory, only a few dsRNAs are needed per cell—quickly made it the tool of choice for functional genomics (determining what a gene product does and with what other products it interacts) and for drug target discovery and validation.
When applied against mRNAs of cytoplasmic RNA viruses, the dsRNAs caused degradation of the specific viral mRNA and resultant ablation of the specific viral protein.
Interestingly, the IFN response requires long dsRNA [ 5 6 ] , and it has been conjectured that the improved specificity of the 21-nucleotide long dsRNA in cultured mammalian cells is probably due to their inability to activate the IFN response [ 2 ] . We provide several lines of direct and indirect evidence that the dsRNAs described here did not activate a general IFN response.
