Antisense Nucleic Acid Analogues as Potential Antiviral Agents

  • Chapter
Herpesviruses, the Immune System, and AIDS

Part of the book series: Developments in Medical Virology ((DIMV,volume 6))

Abstract

Antisense oligodeoxyribonucleotides and nuclease resistant, phosphate-modified oligonucleotide analogues can be used to inhibit virus gene expression both in vitro and in cell culture. Oligomers targeted to bind to functional regions of viral mRNAs such as the initiation codon region or splice junction regions of pre-mRNA, can interfere with mRNA expression in a sequence specific manner. Antisense oligonucleotides and oligonucleotide analogues have been used to inhibit virus protein synthesis and replication in cells infected with vesicular stomatitis virus, herpes simplex virus and human immunodeficiency virus. Because the inhibitory effects of the oligomers depend upon the oligomer sequence, it appears that antisense oligomers could be used as research tools to study and manipulate virus gene expression in cell culture and could be developed into highly specific and effective antiviral agents.
