Summary Using short interfering RNAs to silence individual human host genes we were able to demonstrate that alpha coatamer protein (COPA) is important for the replication of highly pathogenic Avian Influenza A/chicken/Vietnam/008/2004 H5N1 in vitro and may therefore hold potential as a target for novel antiviral therapeutics.
