Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Primer-Dependent Transcription Assay
Description:  IC50 con1b were determined according to the method as described previously (Pauwels et al, 2007, J Virol 81:6909-19) using a primer-dependent transcription assay. Following a 10 minute preincubation with the inhibitor, 20 nM of purified Con1b NS5B enzyme was incubated for 10 min. with 150 nM 5′-biotinylated oligo (rG13) primer, 15 nM poly(rC) template, 19 mM Tris-HCl, 5 mM MgCl2, 17 mM NaCl, 21 mM KCl, and 2.5 mM DTT. 600 nM GTP and 0.13 μCi of [3H]GTP was then added to initiate the 40-μl reaction mixture, which was then incubated at room temperature for 2 h before the reaction was stopped by addition of 40-μl streptavidin-coated SPA beads.
