Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for screening for a medicament capable of inhibiting a host translation system by a virus infecting the host without damaging the host cell; and to provide a composition and a kit. SOLUTION: The screening method of an antiviral agent comprises determining whether a candidate medicament interacts with a viral or cellular constituent component enabling or evading preferential translation of a viral RNA when compared with a host RNA under a virus-infected condition, or not, and determining whether one of the interactions of the medicament and the constituent component reduces the translation level of the RNA of the virus, or not. The composition used therefor is also provided. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
