Claims55
An isolated nucleic acid comprising an oligonucleotide strand of 19-50 nucleotides in length, wherein said oligonucleotide strand is complementary to SEQ ID NO:
- 2355 (5′-CCCAACAAGAACUAGAAGCUA-3′) along at least 19 nucleotides of said oligonucleotide strand length and reduces CKAP5 target mRNA expression when said nucleic acid is introduced into a mammalian cell.
An isolated dsNA comprising first and second nucleic acid strands, wherein said first strand is 15-35 nucleotides in length and said second strand of said dsNA is 19-50 nucleotides in length, wherein said second nucleic acid strand is complementary to SEQ ID NO:
- 2355 (5′-CCCAACAAGAACUAGAAGCUA-3′) along at least 19 consecutive nucleotides of said second strand length and said dsNA reduces CKAP5 target mRNA expression when said double stranded nucleic acid is introduced into a mammalian cell.
