Virus Resistance

• Unconventional resistance: “immunization”

• Viral coat genes

  • overexpressed coat genes inhibits viral replication
  • mechanism? early expression “blows” regulation
  • rarely allows complete resistance, but good
  • sometimes, broad resistance against related viruses

• antisense sequences

  • duplex RNA degraded rapidly -- less viral message
  • which works better?
