    摘要: MicroRNAs embedded within an intron, which are called ‘mirtrons,’ can be used as a platform for expressing one or more shRNA or miRNA mimics in a lentiviral vector. The inventors developed a strategy to improve lentiviral titering by reducing the production of shRNA/miRNA from the vector during packaging through the introduction of splice-inhibiting antisense oligonucleotides during vector packaging, which inhibit the splicing of the mirtron and subsequent processing of the shRNAs/miRNAs. In an aspect is provided a kit comprising an oligonucleotide comprising a mirtron splice site binding sequence and a lentiviral packaging system. In an aspect is provided a method for producing a lentivirus. The method comprises the step of transfecting a cell with an oligonucleotide comprising a mirtron splice site binding sequence and a lentiviral packaging system; thereby producing the lentivirus.

    摘要: The invention is directed to compositions and methods for selectively reducing the expression of a gene product from a desired target gene in a cell, as well as for treating diseases caused by the expression of the gene. More particularly, the invention is directed to compositions that contain double stranded RNA (“dsRNA”), and methods for preparing them, that are capable of reducing the expression of target genes in eukaryotic cells. The dsRNA has a first oligonucleotide sequence that is between 25 and about 30 nucleotides in length and a second oligonucleotide sequence that anneals to the first sequence under biological conditions. In addition, a region of one of the sequences of the dsRNA having a sequence length of at least 19 nucleotides is sufficiently complementary to a nucleotide sequence of the RNA produced from the target gene to trigger the destruction of the target RNA by the RNAi machinery.

    摘要: Universal RNA interference (RNAi) molecules having an inhibitory RNA sequence which binds a target pathologic RNA sequence are provided according to some embodiments. Such RNAi molecules bind the target pathologic RNA sequence via at least one non-Watson Crick paired base. In some embodiments, the target pathologic RNA sequence is a target viral RNA sequence derived from a human immunodeficiency HIV virus, a hepatitis B virus (HBV), a hepatitis C virus (HCV), or an influenza virus.
