RNA INTERFERENCE MEDIATED INHIBITION OF THE HIGH AFFINITY IGE RECEPTOR ALPHA CHAIN (FCeRLa) GENE EXPRESSION USING SHORT INTERFERING NUCLEIC ACID (SINA)

摘要

The present invention relates to compounds, compositions, and methods for the study, diagnosis, and treatment of traits, diseases and conditions that respond to the modulation of FCeR1a gene expression and/or activity, and/or modulate a FCeR1a gene expression pathway. Specifically, the invention relates to doublestranded nucleic acid molecules including small nucleic acid molecules, such as short interfering nucleic acid (siNA), short interfering RNA (siRNA), double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), micro-RNA (miRNA), and short hairpin RNA (shRNA) molecules that are capable of mediating or that mediate RNA interference (RNAi) against FCeR1a gene expression.
