ANTISENSE OLIGONUCLEOTIDES AGAINST HEPATITIS B VIRAL REPLICATION

摘要

Antisense oligonucleotides that hybridize to segments of the preS1, S, C, and epsilon regions of the hepatitis B virus (HBV) RNA pregenome inhibit replication of the virus. The figure illustrates the relative positions of antisense oligonucleotides targeted against the HBV S gene. Pharmaceutical compositions which contain these oligonucleotides as the active ingredients are effective against HBV infection.
