    摘要: The invention relates to an artificial nucleic acid molecule comprising at least one 5′UTR element which is derived from a TOP gene, at least one open reading frame, and preferably at least one histone stem-loop. Optionally the artificial nucleic acid molecule may further comprise, e.g. a poly(A)sequence, a poyladenylation signal, and/or a 3′UTR. The invention further relates to the use of such an artificial nucleic acid molecule in gene therapy and/or genetic vaccination.

    摘要: The invention relates to an artificial nucleic acid molecule comprising at least one open reading frame and at least one 3′-untranslated region element (3′-UTR) element comprising a nucleic acid sequence which is derived from the 3′-UTR of a ribosomal protein gene. The invention further relates to the use of such an artificial nucleic acid molecule in gene therapy and/or genetic vaccination. Furthermore, the invention relates to the use of a 3′-UTR element comprising a nucleic acid sequence which is derived from the 3′-UTR of a ribosomal protein gene for enhancing, stabilizing and/or prolonging protein expression from a nucleic acid sequence comprising such 3′-UTR element.
