The mRNA/+RNA description: 
Bicistronic mRNA transcribed in vitro using T7 polymerase while transcription was supposedly terminated
immediately after the Tphi termination signal sequence. The CAT-fusion ORF sequence contains at its 5'-end
additional 3nt from HCV polyprotein (just the ATG) followed by KpnI site and the CAT sequence itself (thus it
lacks the so called ACAT sequence after the KpnI site which consists of CGAGAAAAAAATCAC).
