  • DOUBLE-STRANDED RNA
    Publication number: 20140289881
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods and compositions relating to a polynucleotide comprising a dsRNA region that is complementary to a particular region of the NS1 gene segment in the influenza virus genome that targets a sequence comprising two overlapping reading frames, one encoding NS1 and the second encoding the NEP polypeptide. Thus, the polynucleotide of the invention is able to target two message RNAs and is effective at inhibiting the replication of influenza virus in a cell.

  • TREATMENT AND PREVENTION OF INFLUENZA
    Publication number: 20110209231
    Abstract: The present invention relates to nucleic acid molecules comprising a double-stranded region, and nucleic acid constructs encoding therfor, that are useful for the treatment and/or prevention of influenza. In particular, the present invention relates to nucleic acid constructs encoding a double stranded RNA molecule(s) that can be used to produce transgenic poultry, for example chickens, such that they are at least less susceptible to an avian influenza infection. Also provided are nucleic acid molecules comprising a double-stranded region that can be used as a therapeutic to treat and/or prevent, for example, avian influenza in poultry.
