Abstract excerpt
Apolipoprotein (apo) E is a polymorphic plasma protein, synthesized mainly by liver. Here, we evaluate whether synthetic DNA-RNA oligonucleotides (chimeraplasts) can convert a dysfunctional isoform, apoE2 (C --> T, R158C), which causes Type III hyperlipidemia and premature atherosclerosis, into a...
