Antisense Oligonucleotides Targeting Influenza A Segment 8 Genomic RNA Inhibit Viral Replication

Abstract excerpt

Influenza A virus (IAV) affects 5%-10% of the world's population every year. Through genome changes, many IAV strains develop resistance to currently available anti-influenza therapeutics. Therefore, there is an urgent need to find new targets for therapeutics against this important human respiratory pathogen. In this study, 2'-O-methyl and locked nucleic acid antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) were designed to...
