摘要:
Full-length and 4 nucleotides truncated Locked Nucleic Acid (LNA) modifications of ISIS 3521 were compared for antisense properties in a cellular assay. ISIS 3521 is a 20-mer phosphorothioate designed to hybridise to human protein kinase G-alpha (PKC-alpha) mRNA and is currently submitted to clinical trials against cancer. We report that LNA can potentate this antisense oligo and retain the antisense potential with shorter oligos.
