Abstract

Due to the development of biomolecular science eg. overexpression genes, genes that cause diseases can be identfied, Based on this fact, researchers developed a therapeutic strategy by inhibiting the gene expression using oligonucleotide antisense. Therapy using oligonucleotide antisense was based on a natural process of gene expression. Specific artificial antisense will match complementary with DNA and mRNA. By this process the transcription will stop. The effort of therapy is relatively new but a few have been carried out in the clinical trial phase. Obstacles are encountered in reaching the target cell by the oligonucleotide antisense.
