USE OF A NON-CODING REGION OF THE GENOME OF THE FOOT-AND-MOUTH VIRUS FOR THE PURPOSE OF PRODUCING AN ANTIVIRAL DRUG

摘要

The present invention relates to the use of RNAs that correspond to highly structured domains of the non-coding regions of the genome of the foot-and-mouth virus (FMV) and to the use of sequences that comprise said RNAs for the production of a pharmaceutical composition for the prophylaxis and/or the treatment of diseases caused by interferon-sensitive viruses. The invention also relates to the pharmaceutical composition that comprises the non-coding regions of the invention and that furthermore comprises at least one pharmaceutically acceptable excipient and/or vehicle, and also to the use of said pharmaceutical composition.
