摘要:
Compositions and methods useful in administering nucleic acid based therapies, for example association complexes such as liposomes and lipoplexes are described.
摘要:
The present invention provides compositions comprising at least one oligomeric compound comprising an alternating motif and further include a region that is complementary to a nucleic acid target. The compositions are useful for targeting selected nucleic acid molecules and modulating the expression of one or more genes. In preferred embodiments the compositions of the present invention hybridize to a portion of a target RNA resulting in loss of normal function of the target RNA. The present invention also provides methods for modulating gene expression.
摘要:
A lipid particle can include a cationic lipid. The cationic lipid can include one or more hydrophobic tails, which can include one or more sites of unsaturation. The sites of unsaturation can include cycloalkyl groups, e.g., cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, or cyclohexyl groups. The lipid particle is suitable for delivering an active agent.
摘要:
The invention relates to compositions and methods for site-specific delivery of nucleic acids by combining them with targeting ligands and endosomolytic components.
