    摘要: The present invention provides oligomers that binds RNA that consists of a lower affinity region and a higher affinity region, wherein the monomers in the higher affinity region increases the melting temperature (i.e. affinity) of the oligomer base paired to RNA more than the monomers used in the lower affinity region, wherein said increase in melting temperature is relatively to the alternative use of DNA monomers of the same (base) sequence. The oligomers of the invention are useful for binding to target RNA such as mRNA and non-coding RNA and have the advantage that they will be less prone to off-target binding via the lower affinity region than via the higher affinity region.

    摘要: Compositions including a polynucleotide combined with a vehicle and methods of their use to induce a suppressive immune response are provided. In some embodiments the compositions induce an increase in expression of indoleamine 2,3 dioxygenase (IDO) enzyme activity in cells. The methods and compositions can be used to inhibit or reduce immune- mediated tissue destruction, to treat autoimmune diseases and inflammatory responses, to promote immune tolerance, to enhance tolerizing vaccines, to treat allergies, to treat asthma, or to enhance mucosal tolerance in subject. Methods and compositions for inducing a suppressive immune response for while minimizing undesirable side effects in the subject are also provided. An exemplary undesirable side effect is systemic release of INFgamma. Exemplary compositions that can be used to induce an immune response in a subject without inducing systemic release of INFgamma include compositions containing a polynucleotide lacking an immunostimulatory nucleic acid sequence complexed with a carrier.

    摘要: Provided are methods and compositions for the treatment or prevention of macular degeneration or other diseases or disorders associated with activation of TLR3. Administration of double-stranded RNAs having a length of 22 nucleotides or less treats or prevents macular degeneration or other diseases or disorders associated with activation of TLR3 due to the ability of the RNAs to bind to but not activate TLR3. Furthermore, all double-stranded RNAs (both targeted and non- targeted) of 22 nucleotides or less in length can bind to but not activate TLR3 and thereby treat or prevent such conditions. Also provided is a method for increasing the specificity of a desired siRNA target knockdown, the method comprising administering an amount of a target siRNA sufficient to knockdown a target gene and an amount of a double stranded RNA of 22 nucleotides or less which prevents the target siRNA from activating TLR3.
