Abstract
We have designed a new type of antisense oligodeoxyribonucleotide. These oligonucleotides form two hairpin loop structures with RNA-DNA base pairs (sense (RNA) and antisense (DNA)) in the double helical stem. The nicked and circular dumbbell RNA/DNA chimeric oligonucleotides are molecules, with or without free ends, that are more resistant to exonuclease attack. Of particular interest, antisense DNA is liberated by RNase H treatment of the dumbbell RNA/DNA chimeric oligonucleotides.Entities:
