Nucleobase-modified antisense oligonucleotides containing 5-(phenyltriazol)-2′-deoxyuridine nucleotides induce exon-skipping:In vitro [PDF]
We investigated the potential of nucleobase-modified antisense oligonucleotides to induce exon-skipping, and found that 5-(phenyltriazol)-2′-deoxyuridine-modified antisense oligonucleotides induced efficient exon-skipping in vitro.

Locked nucleic acid: tighter is different [PDF]
This viewpoint briefly reviews the impact of Locked Nucleic Acid (LNA) oligonucleotides, first described in a ChemComm paper in 1998. A number of unique applications in oligonucleotide biotechnology have been made possible by the high binding affinity ...

Expression of ssDNA in Mammalian Cells
Antisense therapy involves the use of antisense oligonucleotides for altering targeted gene function. However, the low efficiency of cell delivery of antisense oligonucleotides has limited the efficacy of antisense therapeutic approaches.
