Summary

Antisense technology utilizes potent oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) with C-5 propynyl pyrimidine and phosphorothioate modifications for effective gene inhibition in cell culture. This study details methods for selecting sequences, synthesis, delivery, and analysis, establishing ODNs as broadly applicable gene silencing tools.
