Table 3 The expression of PV and miR-7 in infected A549 cell co-transfected with siRNA-100 plus siRNA-NC, or co-transfected with siRNA-100 plus siRNA-ago and siRNA-drosha, was determined by realtime PCR.

From: Host-virus interaction: the antiviral defense function of small interfering RNAs can be enhanced by host microRNA-7 in vitro
