As microbial pathogens such as viruses are both abundant and rapidly evolving, positive selection on components of the adaptive immune response is often very strong (Yeager and Hughes 1999).
Moreover, since the most potent antisense ODNs rely on the degradation of target RNA by RNase H [ 31 ] , which is a predominantly nuclear enzyme, this mechanism is not available to RNA viruses that are strictly cytoplasmic.
Qualified critics who request money from the NIH to look for viruses are told by NIH bureaucrats that if the virus turns out not to exist, then their study will have been "of insufficient significance and scientific merit" and thus not worth doing.
These obstacles have been largely circumvented by the use of cloned viral cDNA that is then altered by standard DNA-based site-directed mutagenesis procedures [ 8 9 ] . Originally designed for influenza virus minigenomes [ 10 ] , such cDNA-based "reverse genetics" strategy has been adopted in a large number of NNR viruses, including vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and measles, to name a few [ 11 12 13 14 ] . Recently, extension of this approach has resulted in the cloning of full-length viral cDNA capable of producing infectious recombinant virus particles upon transcription.
To compare the ability of parental viruses and recombinant viruses to replicate in Vero cells with that of the wild type HSV-2 SB5 strain, 3 × 10 5Vero cells were infected with each virus at a multiplicity of infection of 5 PFU per cell.
