  • Publication number: 20160348116
    Abstract: Methods and compositions for reducing viral genome amounts in a target cell are provided. In the subject methods, the activity of a miRNA is inhibited in a manner sufficient to reduce the amount of viral genome in the target cell, e.g., by introducing a miRNA inhibitory agent in the target cell. Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions, kits and systems for use in practicing the subject methods. The subject invention finds use in a variety of applications, including the treatment of subjects suffering from a viral mediated disease condition, e.g., an HCV mediated disease condition.

  • Patent number: 5766903
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a product and process for producing polypeptides, such products including a circular RNA having a ribosome binding site that engages an eukaryotic ribosome and cells transformed with such circular RNA. Circular RNA is produced by linking the 5' and 3' ends of a desired linear RNA sequence, and such constructs can be used to produce desired amounts of polypeptides when such constructs are translated either in vitro or in vivo. The present invention also relates to the use of circular RNA as a pharmaceutical agent to treat cells and animals involved in a disease.
