Abstract
Antisense oligonucleotides are an attractive potential alternative to conventional drugs as antiviral agents. A major advantage is the relatively simple rational design of oligonucleotides which should bind only to specific nucleic acid sequences, compared with conventional drugs which are frequently targeted against sites of unknown structure in proteins. Progress to date provides hope for the development of a new class of antiviral chemotherapeutics based on antisense oligonucleotides.Entities:
