NUCLEASE STABLE AND BINDING COMPETENT OLIGOMERS AND METHODS FOR THEIR USE

摘要

Oligomers are disclosed which have modified internucleotide linkages and can form triplex and duplex structures by binding to complementary nucleic acid sequences. The oligomers of the invention may be incorporated into pharmaceutically acceptable carriers and may be constructed to have any desired sequence. Compositions of the invention can be used as pharmaceutical agents to treat various diseases such as viruses and can be used for diagnostic purposes in order to detect viruses or disease conditions.
