Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to antisense oligonucleotides that modulate the expression of and/or function of Sialidase 4 (NEU4), in particular, by targeting natural antisense polynucleotides of Sialidase 4 (NEU4). The invention also relates to the identification of these antisense oligonucleotides and their use in treating diseases and disorders associated with the expression of NEU4.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of upregulating a function of and/or the expression of a Sialidase 4 (NEU4) polynucleotide selected from SEQ ID No: 1 in a biological system comprising: contacting said system with at least one antisense oligonucleotide 10 to 30 nucleotides in length wherein said at least one oligonucleotide specifically hybridizes to a natural antisense polynucleotide of the Neu4 polynucleotide and has at least 80% sequence identity to a 10 to 30 nucleotide region o…
