Abstract: The present invention relates to antisense oligonucleotides that are complementary to mammalian CD73 (NT5E) pre-mRNA, wherein the antisense oligonucleotides are capable of modulating the splicing of mammalian CD73 pre-mRNA exon 7. Splice modulation of mammalian CD73 exon 7 is beneficial for a range of medical disorders, including disorders in the field of immune-oncology.

Abstract: The invention relates to the field of immunotherapy and vaccine treatment of diseased cells via enhancing the immune response to the diseased cells. In the context of the present invention this is done by engineering neo-antigens in cells via oligonucleotide mediated production of aberrant RNA transcripts which, when transcribed in the cell, result in the generation or increased expression of aberrant polypeptides. Extracellular display of these polypeptides, of peptide fragments derived provides antigen epitopes (neoantigen) for detection by the immune system.

Abstract: The present invention relates to oligonucleotides (oligomers) that are complementary to voltage-gated sodium ion channel encoding nucleic acids, such as SCN9A, which encodes the voltage-gated sodium channel Nav1.7. The oligonucleotides of the invention are capable of inhibiting the expression of voltage-gated sodium ion channels, such as Nav1.7, and are useful in the prevention or the treatment of pain.
