Abstract excerpt
A HeLa cell line stably expressing the human beta-globin gene carrying thalassemic mutations beta(E)/IVS1-6 served as a thalassemia model for repair of aberrant splicing of beta(E)-globin pre-mRNA with antisense oligonucleotides. Treatment of beta(E)/IVS1-6 HeLa cells with a morpholino oligonucleotide targeted immediately upstream of the aberrant 5' splice site activated by the mutations resulted in an increase...
