Abstract excerpt
In this study a ribozyme (catalytic RNA) was designed to site specifically cleave the mRNA of the activated H-ras gene expressed in human bladder carcinoma EJ cells. The optimal conditions for catalytic cleavage by the ribozyme were demonstrated in vitro. A synthetic DNA encoding the ribozyme was cloned into a mammalian expression vector (pH beta APr-1) and transfected into EJ cells. The expressed ribozyme...
