The Cellular Processing Capacity Limits the Amounts of Chimeric U7 snRNA Available for Antisense Delivery
1 Jan 2012
Abstract excerpt
Many genetic diseases are induced by mutations disturbing the maturation of pre-mRNAs, often affecting splicing. Antisense oligoribonucleotides (AONs) have been used to modulate splicing thereby circumventing the deleterious effects of mutations. Stable delivery of antisense sequences is achieved by linking them to small nuclear RNA (snRNAs) delivered by viral vectors, as illustrated by studies where therapeutic...
