Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to antisense oligonucleotides that modulate the expression of and/or function of Interferon Regulatory Factor 8 (IRF8), in particular, by targeting natural antisense polynucleotides of Interferon Regulatory Factor 8 (IRF8). The invention also relates to the identification of these antisense oligonucleotides and their use in treating diseases and disorders associated with the expression of IRF8.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of upregulating a function of and/or the expression of a Interferon Regulatory Factor 8 (IRF8) polynucleotide in patient cells or tissues in vivo or in vitro comprising: contacting said cells or tissues with at least one modified antisense oligonucleotide 12 to 30 nucleotides in length wherein said at least one oligonucleotide is specific for and targets a natural antisense polynucleotide of the IRF8 gene and has identity to a reverse complement of…
