Abstract
A method of identifying a compound that modulates the activity of a cellular regulator is provided. The method consists of contacting a sample containing a cellular regulator and a nucleic acid element acted on by the cellular regulator with a test compound under conditions that allow replication or expression of the nucleic acid element or a gene or mRNA operatively linked to the nucleic acid element or gene, and an increase or decrease in the amount of replication or expression in the presence of the test compound compared to the absence of the test compound indicates that the compound has cellular regulator modulatory activity. A method of treating a HCV infection is also provided.
