  • Inhibition of viral gene expression using small interfering RNA
    Patent number: 8426380
    Abstract: The invention provides methods, compositions, and kits comprising small interfering RNA (shRNA or siRNA) that are useful for inhibition of viral-mediated gene expression. Small interfering RNAs as described herein can be used in methods of treatment of HCV infection. ShRNA and siRNA constructs targetING the internal ribosome entry site (IRES) sequence of HCV are described.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 2, 2011
    Date of Patent: April 23, 2013
    Assignee: Somagenics, Inc.
    Inventors: Roger L. Kaspar, Heini Ilves, Attila A. Seyhan, Alexander V. Vlassov, Brian H. Johnston
