Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the repair of the splicing defect of thalassemic allele beta IVS-2-654 C-->T (beta 654) in cultured human adult erythroid cells (hAE) by antisense RNA A2. METHODS: Vectors expressing antisense RNA fragments A2 which targeted against the aberrant splice sites of beta 654 pre-mRNA were introduced into hAE by lipid-mediated DNA-transfection method. Quantitation of beta-globin mRNA by RT-PCR...
