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 32nt (including ATG) from HCV polyprotein (whereas the base 5 is deleted to introduce frameshift
mutation) followed by additional 4 bases, followed by KpnI site, followed by hairpin structure, followed then
by the CAT sequence itself (including the so called ACAT sequence (CGAGAAAAAAATCAC)).
