摘要:
The invention discloses aptamers capable of binding to Immunoglobulin E (“IgE”) useful as therapeutics in and diagnostics of atopic disease and/or other diseases or disorders in which IgE has been implicated. The invention further relates to materials and methods for the administration of aptamers capable of binding to IgE.
摘要:
Materials and methods are provided for producing aptamer therapeutics having fully modified nucleotide triphosphates incorporated into their sequence.
摘要:
The invention describes methods for the in vivo selection of oligonucleotides, preferably aptamers, that persist in biological compartments. In one embodiment, the biological compartment comprises at least one tissue which, in a preferred embodiment, is the blood within the circulatory system of a living mammal. The invention also contemplates oligonucleotides, preferably aptamers, selected through in vivo SELEX that may be linked to therapeutic or diagnostic compositions including other oligonucleotides.
摘要:
Compositions and methods to mediate the intracellular and sub-cellular delivery of therapeutic, diagnostic and imaging agents, such as oligonucleotides. The compositions of the invention include nucleic acid conjugates comprising a delivery aptamer that is connected to an oligonucleotide. The delivery aptamer may be connected directly to the oligonucleotide, or may be connected indirectly to the oligonucleotide, such as through a linker. The oligonucleotide may be either a therapeutic, diagnostic or imaging oligonucleotide. The methods of the invention are used to increase potency, or alter distribution, half-life, metabolic fate, toxicity and other characteristics.
