These constructs were individually combined with expression plasmids for PB1, PB2, PA and NP proteins and transfected into MDCK cells. At 44 hrs after transfection, cell lysates were analyzed for CAT expression by a colorimetric ELISA assay. In the plasmid pHW72-CAT, the human RNA pol I promoter directs transcription of a negative sense CAT gene
