Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates, in general, to agents that modulate the pharmacological activity of nucleic acid molecules and, in particular, to agents that bind therapeutic or diagnostic nucleic acid molecules in a sequence independent manner and modulate (e.g., inhibit or reverse) their activity. The invention also relates to compositions comprising such agents and to methods of using same.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of inhibiting the activity of a nucleic acid molecule (NAM) that binds to a target molecule and elicits a pharmacological effect, said method comprising contacting said NAM with a universal antidote (UA) under conditions such that said UA binds to said NAM and modifies the interaction between said NAM and said target, wherein said binding of said UA to said NAM is independent of the nucleotide sequence of said NAM and wherein said UA is a pharmaceuti…
