OLIGONUCLEOTIDES FOR INHIBITING AND FOR IDENTIFYING HUMAN ARGONAUTE PROTEINS

摘要

The invention relates to oligonucleotides that can specifically hybridise with mRNAs that code for argonaute proteins. Said oligonucleotides can inhibit the expression of argonaute proteins and can identify argonaute mRNA. The invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions that contain these oligonucleotides, to methods for the specific inhibition of the expression of argonaute proteins and for the identification of argonaute mRNA, and to the use of said oligonucleotides for inhibiting the expression of argonaute proteins in a cell.
