Fig. 5

Design of gapmer antisense oligonucleotides. In a gapmer antisense, segments of PS-DNA and modified RNA are appropriately placed to combine desirable characteristics for antisense agent with both of these modifications. PS-DNA segment provides RNase H activation, and modified RNA segments provide increased nucleolytic stability, affinity to target RNA, decreased poly-anionic characteristics and inflammatory responses
