  • DNA oligomers for inhibition of HIV by decreasing ribosomal frameshifting
    Patent number: 5707866
    Abstract: The invention relates to the use of antisense DNA oligomers to decrease the occurrence of ribosomal frameshifting required for the production of HIV enzymatic proteins when translating HIV messenger RNA, which should interfere with the production of virions and disrupt HIV life cycle. The antisense DNA oligomers are complementary to regions of the RNA of the small ribosomal subunit of mammalian cells, which are involved in the control of translation fidelity.
