Abstract:
Disclosed herein are antisense compounds and methods for decreasing CD40. Examples of disease conditions that can be ameliorated with the administration of antisense compounds targeted to CD40 include hyperproliferative disorders, graft versus host disease (GVHD), graft rejection, asthma, airway hyperresponsiveness, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), multiple sclerosis (MS), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and certain forms of arthritis.
Abstract:
The present invention provides compounds comprising oligonucleotides complementary to an Usher transcript. Certain such compounds are useful for hybridizing to an Usher transcript, including but not limited, to an Usher transcript in a cell. In certain embodiments, such hybridization results in modulation of splicing of the Usher transcript. In certain such embodiments, the Usher transcript includes a mutation that results in cryptic splicing and hybridization of the oligonucleotide results in a decrease in the amount of cryptic splicing. In certain embodiments, such compounds are used to treat Usher Syndrome.
