Abstract excerpt
Antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) are single stranded, backbone modified nucleic acids, which mediate cleavage of complementary RNA by directing RNase H cleavage in cell culture and in animals. It has generally been accepted that the single stranded state in conjunction with the phosphorothioate modified backbone is necessary for cellular uptake and transport to the active compartment. Herein, we examine the...
