Described is a method for inhibiting propagation of virus which comprises delivering one or more oligodeoxynucleotides or polydeoxynucleotides to a place where a messenger RNA (mRNA) generated on propagation of the virus exists, characterized in that the oligodeoxynucleotides or polydeoxynucleotides are identical in DNA sequence with a portion of the structure of DNA hybridizable to the mRNA, the structure being capable of hybridizing to the mRNA. Also described is an anti-viral agent which comprises an effective amount of one or more oligodeoxynucleotides or polydeoxynucleotides with a conventional liquid vehicle or excipient, characterized in that the oligodeoxynucleotides or polydeoxynucleotides are identical in DNA sequence with a portion of the structure of DNA hybridizable to an mRNA generated on propagation of the virus, the structure being capable of hybridizing to the mRNA. The method and the agent can widely be applied to the treatment of viral diseases. |
