TLDR
In cell-free and cultured-cell systems where one wishes to block the translation of a messenger RNA coding for a normal protein, RNase H-independent morpholino antisense oligos provide complete resistance to nucleases, generally good targeting predictability, generally high in-cell efficacy, excellent sequence specificity, and very preliminary results suggest they may exhibit little non-antisense activity.

Antisense antiviral compounds and methods for treating a filovirus infection

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a list of antisense antiviral compounds, compositions, and methods of their use and production, mainly for inhibiting the replication of viruses of the Filoviridae family, including Ebola and Marburg viruses.

Src tyrosine kinase as a chemotherapeutic target: is there a clinical case?

TL;DR: The biology, rationale, in vitro and in vivo preclinical evidence, and some very early clinical trials demonstrating efficacy of Src inhibitors are reviewed.

Inhibition of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus infection in piglets by a peptide-conjugated morpholino oligomer

TL;DR: Data is provided indicating that the 5UP2 PPMO can be considered a candidate component for a novel PRRS control strategy and monitoring weight gain in all piglet groups throughout the experiment indicated that PPMOs was well tolerated at the doses used.

Cpg motifs in bacterial dna trigger direct b-cell activation

TL;DR: The potent immune activation by CpG oligon nucleotides has impli-cations for the design and interpretation of studies using 'antisense' oligonucleotides and points to possible new applications as adjuvants.

The third helix of the Antennapedia homeodomain translocates through biological membranes

TL;DR: It is reported here that a polypeptide of 16 amino acids in length corresponding to the third helix of the homeodomain deleted of its N-terminal glutamate is still capable of translocating through the membrane, suggesting an energy-independent mechanism of translocation not involving classical endocytosis.

Morpholino antisense oligomers: design, preparation, and properties.

TL;DR: An overview of the design, preparation, and properties of Morpholino oligos, a novel antisense structural type that solves the sequence specificity problem and provides high and predictable activity in cells.

TL;DR: It is shown that the HSV-1 structural protein VP22 has the remarkable property of intercellular transport, which is so efficient that following expression in a subpopulation the protein spreads to every cell in a monolayer, where it concentrates in the nucleus and binds chromatin.

Evaluation of 2'-modified oligonucleotides containing 2'-deoxy gaps as antisense inhibitors of gene expression

TL;DR: The use of a previously described 17-mer phosphorothioate for structure-function analysis of 2'-sugar modifications and the results demonstrate the importance of target affinity in the action of antisense oligonucleotides and of RNase H as a mechanism by which these compounds exert their effects.
