The Influenza A viral RNA single-strand segments are negative-sense, and so they cannot be immediately read by the host cell, and therefore require transcription by the Influenza A RDRP into positive-sense RNA.<ref>PMID:20027280</ref> Only after transcription to single-stranded positive-sense RNA, which is essentially mRNA, can the RNA be translated into viral proteins | The Influenza A viral RNA single-strand segments are negative-sense, and so they cannot be immediately read by the host cell, and therefore require transcription by the Influenza A RDRP into positive-sense RNA.<ref>PMID:20027280</ref> Only after transcription to single-stranded positive-sense RNA, which is essentially mRNA, can the RNA be translated into viral proteins that carry on the viral lifecycle. Therefore, knowledge of the Influenza A RDRP is of utmost importance, as novel treatments can be designed that inhibit the RDRP and therefore prevent the virus from spreading after initial entry into the cell by preventing it from replicating its genome and producing viral proteins. | ||
