This strategy was used for an RNAi screen to identify host proteins specific for the entry process of Marburg virus (MARV) or avian influenza virus H5N1 (AIV), demonstrating the utility of this approach. The key feature of the protocol is that AIV and siRNA showing low signals in assay plates of both viruses is regarded as a "shared" hit by the two viruses MARV pseudovirions were used in parallel in the RNAi screen which allowed us to reduce the number of false positives and to quickly identify Marburg-specific and flu-specific host factors (which will be further discussed below). ./cache/cord-282343-cko4curf.txt ./txt/cord-282343-cko4curf.txt
