title: Prosomes are involved in the repression of viral mRNA.
abstract: Prosomes are small cytoplasmic RNP complexes. We present evidence that their RNA is a potential and selective inhibitor of viral mRNA translation while translation of normal cellular mRNA e.g. rabbit globin mRNA or HeLa cell mRNA is not affected.
