ANTISENSE TECHNOLOGY definition

ANTISENSE TECHNOLOGY means the selective inhibition of protein synthesis at the nucleic acid level. This inhibition is caused by the binding of an oligonucleotide or an analog thereof (termed "oligonucleotide") to the complementary sequence. In particular, an oligonucleotide will specifically bind to the sequence of the selected messenger or viral RNA by base-pairing and will hence bring about a selective inhibition of gene expression.
ANTISENSE TECHNOLOGY means the use of any oligonucleotide or oligonucleotide analog or mimic thereof targeted to a specific sequence of RNA that hybridizes to such sequence and through such hybridization modulates the production of the targeted gene product. The term Antisense Technology shall not include Ribozyme technology.
ANTISENSE TECHNOLOGY means the selective modulation of protein synthesis at the nucleic acid level caused by the binding of an oligonucleotide or an analog thereof (an "oligonucleotide") to a complementary sequence.
