The mRNA/+RNA description: 
mRNA produced by bicistronic plasmid pRG-HCV1 which comprises DsRED2 and EGFP genes as the first and the
second cistron, respectively. The full-length 5'-UTR of HCV genomic RNA together with the first 45 nt of a
viral polyprotein gene was inserted in frame into the intercistronic region of the reporter pRG vector, thus
making the N-terminal fusion of the first 15 amino acids residues from the HCV polyprotein with the EGFP
protein.
The sequence ends at its 3'-end right after the poly(A) signal from SV40 mRNA and thus the 3'-UTR might be
slightly wrong.
