ABSTRACT:
Expression of genes may be modulated by employment of compositions which are capable of RNA mimicry. A portion of RNA coded by the gene whose expression is to be modulated is selected which is capable of interacting with one or more proteins. An oligonucleotide or oligonucleotide analog is then prepared in such a way as to mimic the portion of the RNA. Cells containing the gene are then contacted with the oligonucleotide or oligonucleotide analog to effect the modulation. Therapeutic compositions and methods, especially for the treatment of human immunodeficiency, are disclosed.
