Abstract

Antisense 2'-methoxy-oligoribonucleotides targeted to aberrant splice sites in two thalassemic human β-globin pre-mRNAs, IVS2-654 and IVS2-705, expressed in HeLa cells efficiently restore correct splicing with the use of Lipofectamine, Cellfectin and DMRIE-C, in effect reactivating a defective β- globin gene.
