    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.

    摘要: The invention relates to an artificial nucleic acid molecule comprising an open reading frame and a 3′-UTR comprising at least one poly(A) sequence or a polyadenylation signal. The invention further relates to a vector comprising the artificial nucleic acid molecule comprising an open reading frame and a 3′-UTR comprising at least one poly(A) sequence or a polyadenylation signal, to a cell comprising the artificial nucleic acid molecule or the vector, to a pharmaceutical composition comprising the artificial nucleic acid molecule or the vector and to a kit comprising the artificial nucleic acid molecule, the vector and/or the pharmaceutical composition. The invention also relates to a method for increasing protein production from an artificial nucleic acid molecule and to the use of a 3′-UTR for a method for increasing protein production from an artificial nucleic acid molecule. Moreover, the invention concerns the use of the artificial nucleic acid molecule, the vector, the kit or the pharmaceutical composition as a medicament, as a vaccine or in gene therapy.
