Abstract: A therapeutic composition for inhibiting the function of a target polynucleotide sequence in a mammalian cell includes an agent that provides to a mammalian cell an at least partially double-stranded RNA molecule comprising a polynucleotide sequence of at least about 200 nucleotides in length, said polynucleotide sequence being substantially homologous to a target polynucleotide sequence. This RNA molecule desirably does not produce a functional protein. The agents useful in the composition can be RNA molecules made by enzymatic synthetic methods or chemical synthetic methods in vitro; or made in recombinant cultures of microorganisms and isolated therefrom, or alternatively, can be capable of generating the desired RNA molecule in vivo after delivery to the mammalian cell.
