To further examine the ability of ORF1 shRNA to suppress viral gene expression in PCV2-infected PK15 cells, single nucleotide mutations were introduced into pSIR3 sequence as shown in Fig. 4A . As shown in Fig. 4B , a mutant with one nucleotide mutation in the 5V-end of the sense strand (pSIR3-m1) still had an effective reduction in the synthesis of ORF1 and ORF2 proteins, whereas with a nucleotide substitution at the center (pSIR3-m2) or 3V-end (pSIR3-m3) of the sense sequence, the resultant shRNAs failed to significantly suppress expression of PCV2 ORF1 and ORF2 in the transfected cells, further verifying the specificity of RNAi as demonstrated (Amarzguioui et al., 2003; Harborth et al., 2003) .	./cache/cord-331916-n744pymd.txt	./txt/cord-331916-n744pymd.txt
