| ID | Plasmid | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| 242407 | VEE-mScarlet3-IRES-EGFP-IRES-moxBFP | Native (conventional) self-amplifying RNA (saRNA) control construct expresses moxBFP as visual marker of IRES functionality |
| 242408 | VEE-mScarlet3-IRES-EGFP-IRES-E3 | Self-amplifying RNA (saRNA) E3 construct; expresses the vaccinia virus E3 protein, which binds and sequesters dsRNA broadly inhibiting dsRNA-sensing pathways |
| 242409 | VEE-mScarlet3-IRES-EGFP-IRES-E3-NSs-L* | Self-amplifying RNA (saRNA) E3-NSs-L* construct; co-expresses vaccinia virus E3, Toscana virus NSs, and Theiler’s virus L*; more comprehensive inhibition of dsRNA-sensing pathways than plasmid 242408. |
